Cumulative update for Windows XP?

[JackBurton]

Does anyone know if there is a cumulative (roll up) update that will install critical and security Windows updates up to a certain date? Say for instance you have a Windows XP SP2 machine and want to bring it up to date as quickly as possible with the least amount of updates.

I think after SP3 there are only 20 updates i forgot to count them on a pc i built on the weekend.

So SP3 first

Sorry about that, I should say, exclusing SP3. So basically, a cumulative update that will patch Windows SP2 as far as it can be patched without SP3.

Microsoft never issued a roll-up. Just SP3.

can i just ask, what's wrong with sp3? i've been using it as soon as a stable version was released and it has been rock stable.

Same here 3 computers that I updated the first week of release no problems with any of them, all were Intel ranging from Pentium d820 to e6400.

SP3 is essentially a rollup. It was just so big with so many changes they called it a Service Pack. There isn't much of anything beyond all the patches that are on Windows Update.
