Cannot find registry entry for SP3?
Great program!
I've been using it for awhile and on many of the machines that I've worked on if you are using the xpsp2local.cmd it will throw an error that it cannot find a certain registry entry for SP3!

Once that KB is installed everything works great. Maybe you can build that one in to your script.
Downloading SP2
Thanks for such a nice tool!
Is it true that the program downloads SP2 1st then checks to see if win51ip.SP2 exists on the CD?
If so, I think it should check 1st then download if SP2 not found.
Does it matter if the name of the file is 'win51ip.SP2' instead of 'WIN51IP.SP2'?
Thanks
P.S. I get a 404 error for KB911280...
No, it checks first, and then downloads SP2, only if it needs to
and I fixed the KB911280 link. It's now: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/7/a/27a678b5-d598-4f54-8cef-282dc63afa04/WindowsXP-KB911280-v2-x86-ENU.exe
Thanks for the heads up.
