Windows Xp Pro Sp3 Ie8 Wmp11.iso
My name is Jane Maliouta and I am the Deployment PM for IE8. You might remember my recent blog on. Today I am here to tell you about Windows XP SP3 (XPSP3) and how it’ll work with the various released versions of Internet Explorer. Windows XP SP3 contains some new updates, and a number of bug fixes and security improvements. You can learn more about XPSP3 features by reading the white paper located.
We expect XPSP3 will be publicly available shortly and want you to have this information prior to its final release to the web. Internet Explorer 6 Users XPSP3 will continue to ship with IE6 and contains a roll-up of the latest security updates for IE6. If you are still running Internet Explorer 6, then XPSP3 will be offered to you via Windows Update as a high priority update.
You can safely install XPSP3 and will have an updated version of IE6 with all your personal preferences, such as home pages and favorites, still intact. If you are currently running IE7 or IE8 on Windows XP SP2 (XPSP2) and you are thinking of upgrading to XPSP3, read on. Internet Explorer 7 Users If you are currently running IE7 on XPSP2, Windows Update will offer you XPSP3 as a high priority update. If you choose to install XPSP3, Internet Explorer 7 will remain on your system after the install is complete. Your preferences will be retained. However, you will no longer be able to uninstall IE7.
Apr 26, 2016 Where can i find a legit XP Pro ISO? Fine in google Chrome and newer IE. For users who wish to create an update CD for Windows XP Service Pack 3'. And how it’ll work with the various released versions of Internet Explorer. Windows XP SP3. Windows XP Service Pack 3. IT PRO IE on the Web.
If you go to Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs, the Remove option will be grayed out. This behavior is by design and here is why. When we install IE7 on Windows XP SP2, we backup the existing IE6 files in an uninstall directory. Those IE6 files are the ones that shipped on XPSP2 plus all the security updates you’ve installed while using IE6. Windows XP SP3 contains a newer version of the Internet Explorer 6 files.
If you have XPSP3 on your system and uninstall IE7, your system would revert to the backed up (older) version of the IE6 files rather than the newer XPSP3 version. You would end up in a mixed file state in Windows where most files would be the upgraded XPSP3, except for the IE6 files restored when uninstalling IE7. This state is not supported and is very bug prone. To ensure a reliable user experience, we prevent this broken state by disabling the ability to uninstall Internet Explorer 7.
If you must uninstall IE7 after you have upgraded to XPSP3, then you have to first uninstall XPSP3, and then uninstall IE7. After this series of uninstalls, you will be reverted back to a XPSP2, and a stable version of IE6, so feel free to upgrade to XPSP3 again. If you install IE7 after you install XPSP3, then you will be able to uninstall IE7 at any point and be reverted to the newer IE6 version that ships in XPSP3. The restriction on uninstalling only applies to when you install a Windows Service Pack release on top of a standalone IE release. Keeping this in mind, you might want to uninstall IE7, upgrade to XPSP3 and then install IE7 again so you can uninstall IE7 in the future if need be. Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 Users Installing IE8 Beta1 on Windows XP SP3 is fully supported, so go ahead and upgrade your computers to XPSP3 and then to try out our new features. You will be able to uninstall IE8 Beta 1 at any point to revert back to either IE7 or IE6 depending on what you were using before.
However, if you already have IE8 Beta 1 installed on XPSP2, Windows XP SP3 will not be offered to you via Windows Update. This is because after you update your system to XPSP3, you will no longer be able to uninstall IE8 Beta 1 and the Remove option will be grayed out under the Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. The reason is the same as in IE7 case described above.
Since people are more likely to uninstall beta software, we strongly recommend uninstalling IE8 Beta 1 prior to upgrading to Windows XP SP3 to eliminate any deployment issues and after XPSP3 is on your machine. Thanks, Jane Maliouta Program Manager. Good calls, IMO – the only way to do better would be to update the IE6 uninstall info to SP3, so that uninstalling IE7/8 after installing XP SP3 would revert to a patched-up IE6. I can think of several reasons why I’d not want to do this, i.e. Fiddle with uninstall info (malware seeding risk, if malware uses the same mechanism?) or add in code that never was installed, and is therefore not known to work OK on that particular system. The only surprise is that XP SP3 excludes IE7.
Does that mean the IE team has to support IE6 for longer, i.e. As long as XP SP3 is a supported baseline? That reminds me of the 'IE5.01 supported, IE5.5 not supported' situation that arose because WinME’s support horizon was shorter than that of Win2000, which came with the older IE version baked in. BTW: Try the Dilbert site in IE8b1, and see if that 'Operation Aborted' error is as gone as you think it is (as tested with IE8b1 on XP SP2 in Standards Mode, set to prompt on active content, with such prompts DECLINED.).
So to put it simply. You use IE6 – SP3 will apply cumulative security roll-up if you have not already done so, maybe with some additional updates. You use IE7 – SP3 will 'bake it in' and uninstalling back to IE6 will no longer be possible. So, if you may want to uninstall IE7, then you must uninstall before applying SP3 and re-install after, but this is an unlikely scenario if you have been using IE7 without issues.

You use IE8 beta – SP3 will 'bake in' that version, which is a very bad idea, so uninstalling the beta would be smart. It is surprising that MS did not 'bury' IE6 with this update, maybe it is reasonable to expect IE6 to become unsupported not long after IE8 is RTM, in order to prevent the need to support 3 versions. 2 suggestions here: Option 1 When initializing XP SP3, prompt the following: Setup has detected that the IE7/8 is installed on this machine. What do you want setup to do? (o) Backup IE7/8, uninstall IE7/8, install SP3, and auto re-install IE7/8.
(Recommended) ( ) Backup IE7/8, uninstall IE7/8, install SP3, patch the IE6 and without re-installing IE7/8. ( ) Install SP3 and leaving the uninstallation option not available for IE7/8. Option 2 Take IE7 as a compulsory patch to fix IE6 issues with XP SP3. If any technical users would like to do some testings that required IE6, use the virtual PC instead. Quote:'When we install IE7 on Windows XP SP2, we backup the existing IE6 files in an uninstall directory. Those IE6 files are the ones that shipped on XPSP2 plus all the security updates you’ve installed while using IE6.
Windows XP SP3 contains a newer version of the Internet Explorer 6 files. If you have XPSP3 on your system and uninstall IE7, your system would revert to the backed up (older) version of the IE6 files rather than the newer XPSP3 version.'
Why the hell can’t the SP3 installer just update the IE6 backup files? Seriously, why not???? I think this part is funny. What a funny way to deal with applicaitons. If you must uninstall IE7 after you have upgraded to XPSP3, then you have to first uninstall XPSP3, and then uninstall IE7. After this series of uninstalls, you will be reverted back to a XPSP2, and a stable version of IE6, so feel free to upgrade to XPSP3 again. If you install IE7 after you install XPSP3, then you will be able to uninstall IE7 at any point and be reverted to the newer IE6 version that ships in XPSP3.
The restriction on uninstalling only applies to when you install a Windows Service Pack release on top of a standalone IE release. Keeping this in mind, you might want to uninstall IE7, upgrade to XPSP3 and then install IE7 again so you can uninstall IE7 in the future if need be. I applaud MS for not bundling IE7 in XPSP3 and still giving XP users choice. Not that I don’t install IE7 immediately but since XP shipped with IE6, thanks for maintaining that choice. In fact, whenever Vista SP2 ships, please don’t include IE8 in it. I had IE7 installed on XPSP2.
I’ve now installed SP3 from MSDN. Now I want KB889333 and KB933873 but they can’t be installed on XPSP3. Gives an error saying the level of service pack is newer. So I guess MS will update these KBs to install on SP3? KB938127 (MS07-050) – a critical security KB also has the same issue!!!
Regarding the IE7/8 uninstall issue, aren’t the IE6 files backed up to%Windir%IE7 on XP? So why simply why couldn’t MS update the files backed up in%Windir%IE7 so that it could still be uninstalled? I have 2 systems. One was XPSP2+fully patched, then installed XPSP3 on that system VGX version is 7.0.6000.20628 (which is the version installed by MS07-050), so it is not SP3 which may have installed that version. On the other system, I did a slipstreamed clean install of XPSP3, then installed IE7.
Now the version of Vgx.dll is 7.0.5730.13, so obviously MS07-050 is missing but it won’t let me install KB938127 on XPSP3. Same thing for KB889333 and KB933873 but they’re not security KBs. I think MS should do a IE7 SP1 alongside XPSP3 so any such issues are eliminated.
The cumulative security updates only service a certain set of files, not all IE files. I’ll probably go straight to SP3 without uninstalling IE7 first. I can’t imagine any scenario where I’d want to downgrade to IE6 again. It’s disappointing that you didn’t default SP3 to install with IE7, but I understand why you didn’t do that.
As far as SP3 goes, I’m in no hurry. I’ll wait it out for a couple weeks more or until Windows Update pushes it out to me. I don’t want to be one of the early adopters that get burned when some unknown issue is discovered. Download free quicken 2002 basic updates dinar. These days I am pretty wary of anything Microsoft releases. Vista was (and still is) a disaster. It’s way slower than XP and the computer is generally more complicated to use.
I don’t know how either of those things are a step forward. I want to repeat what has been commented by Tester on Tuesday, May 06, 2008 8:05 PM: Dear IETeam, Please release a new build of IE7 with the latest security updates included. If you install IE7 (7.0.5730.13) on XP SP3, then try to install IE7-WindowsXP-KB938127-x86-ENU.exe, it will fail and not update VGX.dll(7.0.5730.13 came with IE7’s installer) to the version included in the KB938127 security update(7.0.6000.20628), leaving plenty of users vulnerable. Or release a revised version of IE7-WindowsXP-KB938127-x86-ENU.exe that would actually install on XP SP3.
This is critical as if users use the current IE7 installation source he’ll be exposed to critical vulnerability at first and even can’t get patched after updated. Unlike some of the comments here, I’d just like to take a moment to thank Microsoft for not forcing IE 7 onto SP 3 users. IE 6 is the most popular browser used by visitors to my site (38%, vs 29% for 7) so it’s good to hear that I’ll still be able to develop and test against 6 when I update to SP 3. I have IE 7 installed in VMware, so I’m still testing there, however I’m running 6 on my 'main system' because it’s what most of my visitors are using. Thanks again for making things easier on developers by keeping 6 around. 'There are many business that have applications and services that are tied to IE 6 and its quirks.
And it takes time to update these applications and services. Which is why many corporations still haven’t fully upgraded to IE7. Microsoft needs to serve these customers and has allowed IE6 to continue even when IE 7 is already out and IE 8 is under development.' And it’s not just the businesses who are paying Microsoft for support, but also governments, whose projects move very slowly and are tied to tax dollars for funding – which means not having an infinite budget to blow on platform migration, especially once commitments have been made – commitments which require strict accounting and no sudden changes, by law. It’s easy for some junior commercial web developer in a VC-funded private business to say 'IE6 sucks' and 'please please please replace IE6 with IE7', but such an upgrade out in the real world, especially in government, would interrupt critical, even world economy-affecting, browser-based services for millions of people. I recently worked on a massive, multi-year, IE6-based software project for a major city, and the lifecycle of each version of the software from planning to deployment took 9 months plus. At any one time we would be rolling out version X in 10 agencies (thousands of desktops in each agency) and version Y in 20 others, many of which have computers that can barely run Windows, and planning another release and developing another.
It was like pulling teeth to get them to even commit to an XP+IE6 platform however-many years ago. Yes we did have migration strategies, but if you had any experience with these things you’d know it’s never so simple as it’s supposed to be, and priorities aren’t always under the developer’s control. Every little change, even seemingly innocuous system updates, would sometimes have massive ramifications; a complete browser change with anything less than 2-3 years’ notice (an it’d take about that long just to get funding to.talk. about it) was completely out of the question. So those of you crying that IE6 should simply be killed across the board in a forced manner need to count your blessings and just be glad you’ve got your work cut out for you. I can’t believe the amount of whining in these comments!
If you installed a Beta, you need to accept possible technical headaches (like not being able to uninstall IE8 beta in this case). You took on installing a possibly unstable and problematic release – deal with it! And second of all, what gives all of you whiners the right to demand other users’ choices be revoked? If someone wants to stick with IE6 for whatever reason, that’s their prerogative. As stated in the explanation, SP3 will apply security patches to IE6 – leaving it not the gaping security sore you all make it out to be. For everyone else involved in normal discussion, I apologize for the rant. When it comes to IE 6 and IE 7 in windows xp sp3 and business’s and government entities, it comes down to contracts between Microsoft and the one contracted with!
If you try to force the entity you contracted with to move to IE7 or later you must include a clause of release from that contract. Microsoft isn’t about to do that! Plain and simple.
It’s like credit card companies that want to raise your fixed interest rate under contract. You the credit card holder can opt out of the contract and cancel the card (You still have to pay the debit).
So, IE 6 will be around for a while. Interesting, Microsoft did it again: now it IS completely ridiculous to slipstream SP3 to Windows XP installation if you intend using IE7 (which is rather natural if you are not government or other slowly-stepping entity, and most of downloaders will not be) because you will still have to install IE7 critical updates afterwards (and keep track of those), even thou SP3 does include those updates in it (which would install if u installed IE7 on SP2, and then do the SP3 installation). It just doesn’t stop to amaze me how you guys make the same mistakes over and over again, even after a year of testing beta versions of this so-much-overdue product what have you been doing all that time? I can’t believe all the people here bashing IE6 users – everyone knows, if they don’t have their head in the sand, that the last two 'IE' releases suck – as usual MS writes code that uses resources like they’re the only one needing them – If the people here really understood the current state of data centers they’d know that IE6 still allows other programs to run efficiently – It’s not by choice, it’s required – the only other solution, which is becoming very common, is to move to a great browser, 'Firefox'.
I know all these MS lovers probably don’t know a thing about Opera & their great products & should check it out. I’m a software pro, and I find this issue shocking behavior from what should be the best software team in the world. When I install a new version of software, I make sure to remove all vestiges of the old (both files and registry). I want my machine to run lean and clean.
I installed SP3, unaware of this issue with IE7. Had I known, I would never have installed it, period. Now I am told that is should 1)uninstall SP3, 2) uninstall IE7, 3) reinstall SP3, 4) reinstall IE7? What is this, a circus act?
Totally unprofessional, especially if you are aware that most uninstalls do not do a complete job of it. When IE8 comes out, there had better be a fix for this. I do not want 2 versions of the same software on my computer. The best minds in the industry couldn’t come up with sleek solution to this? You’re missing the point, Harry. This upgrade came to me from Windows Update as a pop-up. I choose the 'notify me' option there, as I like to have some control.
I see a Service Pack is 'recommended', I readily install it, trusting Microsoft that it’s ready for prime-time. If I had instead chosen the auto-install option of Windows Update, as many do, sorry, there is no 'read all pre-requisites' option. 'Locking IE7 in' is a SNAFU, i am incredulous that Microsoft took this appoach. I have 30 years in the industry, and don’t say such things lightly. The SP3 install was lengthy. I have a hard time trusting the uninstall to totally undo it. Most uninstalls are not quite as 'clean' as they should be, especially with Registry issues.
Asking for 2 uninstalls and 2 reinstalls to fix the problem is asking for trouble, period. In case it wasn’t apparent before, I’m really happy that Microsoft continue to support all of us who choose to remain on XP. The improvements SP3 makes to XP in terms of security, stability and reliability can only be praised and welcomed. Apart from any bugs, naturally. I understand the decision to keep IE6 if that’s all the user has.
After all, they’ve probably been prompted about IE7 and they chose against installing it. Or their administrator chose against it. So you’re just respecting a choice they or their company has already made. Having said all that, I would be more pleased if we didn’t need a 700-word essay explaining 5 different ways to install XPSP3.

I should just install it and it should just work without me worrying about nasty surprises down the line. Developers are busy enough (and worried enough!) already. Each inconvenience pushes us towards other platforms. Conversely, each convenience pulls us back to yours. The latter must outweigh the former if we’re to use and support your products. Such as making websites which work in 3 versions of IE rather than just 1 or 2or even none at all.
To N S: 'People/Companies didn’t have to loose hundreds of thousands of dollars after Vista and then to hear Microsoft to announce its a complete failure.' That’s new to me. What newspaper or reputable site be specific?
Apple’s web site doesn’t count. 🙂 It’s suicidal for any company to mention that their current product is a failure. To All: As someone mention already, if you are using a beta version on your only PC, good luck. Betas will contain plenty bugs and may crash. At this point, if you are at IE7 and have no issues, why would you go back to the less-secure IE6?
If you have issues with IE7, why is it still installed? Anyone still running windows 98 is asking, no, begging for trouble. In my opinion, after doing 3 failed attempts of installing 3 different downloads of SP3, all obtained from a different download link, and all 3 coming from microsoft website, I’ve concluded that (atleast for LAPTOPS) you are better off staying with SP2 with all critical updates and IE7/WMP11. Why is microsoft wasting my time with installing uninstalling installing uninstalling installing uninstalling ok install this, ok uninstall that. Ok inorder for this to work, uninstall this and that, and then reinstall both. Would be nice if I can just install it ONE time and be done with it. But I guess, coming from Microsoft, that would be to frackin easy, wouldn’t it?
Why make it simple and easy when you can waste millions of ppls time tryint to figure out the best frackin route to instlaling a service pack. How complex to an uncomplex reality. Hi, firstly i am not a computer whizz (I know, I can hear the groans!); and i am not sure whether i am on the right blog, but it’s the only one that i have found with a similar problem to what i am having with my computer. I have a Packard Bell laptop which is 18 months old.
Everything was running smoothly with it until i downloaded some windows updates along with the XPSP3. However, now i cannot connect to the internet: i have email and messenger and that’s it. In order to get the internet (i use IE7) I had to do a system restore to an earlier time before the updates. Obviously i want my computer to be as protected as possible, but without the hassle of this new update! Is it the XPSP3 update that is causing this problem or something else. Sorry if this has already been discussed oh and if it has an bearing on the matter, i live in the UK.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Evening pan Silly question having problems with Sp3 and internet explorer? According to many here it installs with little to no problems once they use the latest installer download from Microsoft. See this artical mentioned here. Sp3 includes updates to the operating system that the IE depends on. The answer to that lies within search, if I could sugguest searching for what compenents are updated the internet explorer depends on. Live has a lot of money spend on it.
