You can slipstream with only SP2, it includes all the updates in SP1 anyway.

Bubba, don't be stupid. Its a known issue. Click that link Grendel posted if you don't believe me. Its happened on multiple machines that I've installed SP2 on, which are VERY different in configuration, and it made little difference whether or not a firewall was active or not. Hell, in my initial post detailing my issue, I clearly stated that I disabled, and even uninstalled kerio PF and it still happened. The adblocking capability of kerio had long since been disabled since its 30 day trial thing rand out a long time ago. Even so, I never turned that on since I use Mozilla with the adblock extention. SP2 unregistered the dll on its own.

a clean install of XPsp2 sovled the WU issue I was having.

So, ya, Bubba is right.

re-registering msxml3.dll didn't fix it for me.

what did you download.. SP2 for a specific version... or a ALL in one IT/DEV version??

I'll let you answer your own question now that the light is ON!

It's no big deal, I was just curious I mean, the IT version of SP1 didn't do this.
