When SP3 be available via Windows Update?

[Edward]

Anyone?

 

[Big Al]

Anyone?

I'd suggest seaching these newsgroups first. Its been asked goodness
knows how many times in the past few days. Its even documented on the
web and google works too.

But... Its was released today to the general public for downloads. Its
on some non microsoft sites already.
It will be on the standard windows update later June or so. MS
appears to load the files on their server about 10ish PST and it should
show up later today on their download site.

Has anyone tried this link. Is it really the FINAL version?

Thanks.

That appears to be the RC, not the final version.

Did you even bother to check the MD5?

No, just the KB article. Like I should check everything? No need for your
'even bother' remark.

It IS the RTM that will be available from Microshaft later

 

[David B.]

I just integrated it into my SP2 disk, nlite reported it as 5512, which is
the RTM

'even bother' remark.

If you would have bothered to actually download it, verify the MD5 sum
and then check it against the known MD5 sum you would have known that
it was in fact the final 5512 build. So yes, you SHOULD check
everything. The KB article is not going to reflect it being released
because, as of yet, it had not been officially released.
