RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack is designed to bring a Windows XP CD with SP2 integrated fully up to date with all of the latest hotfixes released by Microsoft since SP2's release. It accomplishes this task via direct integration, where files on the CD are directly overwritten by the updated files. This method has numerous advantages over other integration techniques.

Reviewing 2.2.5 (Jan 19, 2009)
The Original version of this, which will slip-stream SP1 and/or SP2 in with your original Windows XP installation disk is outstanding.
I'm not sure of the exact benefits of the Post-SP2 update pack, so this one may be hard to recommend.
But if you slipstream SP2 into your config and then do Windows Update, you should be covered, I think.

Excellent!!!!
I use nLite to slipstream Windows XP Home and Pro disks to service pack 2, and make them unattended.
Then I use RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack
to slipstream the nLited disks to just before SP-3.
Then use .NET-3.5 offline installer from Microsoft. (note that the installer includes .NET 2 and 3 and 3.5 with service packs and updates. A bug in Windows online updates wants to install an update for .NET 3 but fails because the above installer already includes it, so just ignore it.)
Now only 8 online updates left and no reboots!!

seier needs to check the facts, Microsoft sp3 is available through windows update.
Reviewing 2.2.2 (Apr 29, 2008)
Well as SP3 is already available so I rate it 4 otherwise I can rate it 5. I would appreciate if they release a timezone updates which is missing with Windows XP SP3.

Hi Gang,
I haven't Ryan's update package out yet, but I just want to point out that SP3 is coming out tomorrow. Apparently it won't initially be on windows update, but as an individual download:
