How do I get a full download of SP2 to slipstream in?

[Clive Mariner]

I want to get a full download of SP2 and I'm told by the
site to go to another place to downlaod it as the full
version of about 272MB is for networks with more than 1
computer. This has become confusing now. I want to do a
clean install and use the slipstreamed. Do I have to
download this 272MB file? Where is the smaller file for
single computers.

Hi

To create a splipstream version of WinXP SP2, you need the
"standalone" version of SP2 (266 MB).

It is available at the Microsoft Download Center:

(disregard the "intended for IT professionals and developers" part,
it can be used on a single computer as well, and to create
slipstream installations also)

Ignore the fact the SP2 download is for PCs on a network.
It is the same download for standalone PCs.

Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming
(integrating) SP2 into Windows XP a breeze:
