Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Embedded Now Available for Download!
The November 2008 - Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Embedded Optional Update is now available on the ECE for Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded with Service Pack 2 and/or Feature Pack 2007.
Windows XP Embedded Service Pack 3 (SP3) is a roll-up of hot-fixes and security updates Microsoft has released since Service Pack 2 (SP2). It also includes select out-of-band releases, and a small number of new enhancements, which do not significantly change customers’ experience with the operating system. Windows XP Embedded SP3 provides a new baseline for customers deploying Windows XP Embedded. For customers with existing Windows XP Embedded installations, SP3 fills the gap in the updates they might have missed.
Please check this link on the ECE for more details:

Is there any way us end users can get this, or am I completely at the mercy of my hardware vendor? I'm running HP Thin Clients with XPe, and HP has proven time and again that thin client support and development is not a customer priority. I bought the device with a licensed OS, I should be able to then deploy/install the OS as suits my needs. Unfortunately, I can't download the XPe dev kit and rebuild images that fit my needs without paying the licensing tax (and it's a hefty one) again.Anonymous

Ian, Unfortuntely your only option is to engage with HP as they are the owner of the image, and are responsible for supporting it based on whatever support agreeemnt you have with them. They would also have the configuration file and also custom drivers that are included n your device, so even if you had the dev kit it would be unlikely that you would be able to totally reporidce the configuration they crated for your hardware.

Well, I've just read quickly through the "XPE Developer Resource kit.doc", and it's a great piece of documentation, by the way, good job folks. Chock full of XPe goodness. I hope it's a sign that the XPe tools might be in good hands after all. WarrenAnonymous

How come Windows XPe does not allow us to install Framwork .NET 3.5? Our entire product base was programmed using .NET 3.5. Please HELP!Anonymous

.NET 3.5 is only supported on the latest version of the product family, Windows Embedded Standard 2009.Anonymous

Xpe SP3 is an incremental update- you need to install XPe SP1 and SP2 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=dacd1722-256b-48c5-91c1-af6062340efc&displaylang=en before being able to apply SP3. LyndaAnonymous

Yes, I installed XPe studio by following the disk sequence SP1->SP2. The Platform version which showed in Database Manager was Windows XP Embedded Client (x86) [Version 5.1.2600,R3333] Sorry that I couldn't open my database by using xpecmd command, it showed "A database error occured within the CMI." error. (Ignore that because I don't want to raise another issue here.) Wait for your further instruction. Thank you.Anonymous

Hi Carl, Are you able to repro this issue and then immediately look in the event log (or refresh it) and provide the event errors? Installtion errors are sometimes difficult to diagnose because each machine state is different. Also, did you update the Tools (in addition to the database) at each step of your installation of SP1, SP2, FP2007? The rev number of 3333 also indicates that Update Rollup is not on this machine (but that should have no effect on an installation of XPe SP3)Anonymous

Should I install any update from Update Roll 1.0 to SP3? I will try to reinstall XPe studio step by step again to see if I missed something or not. Thanks for your suggestion. CarlAnonymous

UPR 1.0 and FP2007 are optional- they are not required as pre-requisites for installing XPe SP3. You need SP1, then SP2 (update both the tools and the db) before applying XPe SP3. Thanks.
