Microsoft has released the much awaited XP SP3 RTM on Automatic Update and Download Center today. The SP3 RTM was delayed due to a bug in Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS).

Although its available on Automatic Updates, ppl who want to download the standalone package can use following official links to download SP3:

Windows XP SP3 EXE File
Windows XP SP3 ISO File
Windows XP SP3 Network Installation Package

I have seen and have received a few mails about 2 general problems which lots of XP users are facing while installing SP3 in their Windows XP:

1. Setup Error: Access is denied.
2. Setup Error: Service pack 3 setup cannot Update a Checked (Debug) System with a Free (Retail) Version of Service Pack 3.

I have written about their solutions at following links:

Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) Setup Error: Access is denied.
Windows XP SP3 Setup Error: Cannot Update a Checked (Debug) System with a Free (Retail) Version of Service Pack 3

If anyone is facing these problems, then please take a look at the solution. It should help you in fixing the problem.
