WUdim2Kszu and follow the instructions at this video: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aunn2 ... Y2TJsEtrGd SP4 v3.1b is the final build I intend to release. Thank you all for your support and assistance all these years.Windows XP official support has ended. Many users - including me - who won't be able to upgrade their old machines to a newer OS would like to easily install all Windows updates in one convenient package. For this reason I started working on a Service Pack 4 package in September 2013.Windows XP Unofficial SP4 ENU is a cumulative update rollup for Windows XP (x86) English. It can be applied to a live Windows XP system which has SP1, at minimum, installed or it can be slipstreamed (integrated) in any Windows XP installation media.It includes updates for most Windows XP components, including MCE and Tablet PC. Request-only hotfixes have been included. Currently, Microsoft .NET Frameworks 4.0, 3.5, 1.1 and 1.0 (Tablet PC only) are included in the Windows XP SP4 package. In addition, all post-eol updates for .NET Framework 1.1, 3.5 and 4.0 untilhave been included. The .NET 1.x, 3.5 versions are automatically installed/updated in live installations. Only Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is enabled by default in integrated installation. Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 will be always installed if Media Center Edition is present.If you download theyou can also scan Windows Update for POSReady updates, because the POSReady trick has been included.Windows XP SP4 includes registry updates to enhance security. I want to thank Stefan Kanthak, a security expert who has kindly given me the necessary information. These security enhancements address issuesThis is an example of security vulnerabilities fixed by Stefan's registry updates: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2013/Oct/151 TheCloud folder contains all Windows XP SP4 documentation files.: Before installing SP4 on a system with many post-SP3 updates installed, follow the steps described here (do not restart your PC after applying these steps, just run the SP4 installer and then reboot):This will prevent a common error message: "Failed to install catalog files".Although the SP4 installer takes steps to automatically delete these files, it may require manual intervention in some cases.3. MS may release new updates for .NET Framework according to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windows-embedde ... ducts.aspx Windows XP SP4 v3.1 by default SHOWS .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 updates from the Control Panel.To HIDE these updates run this reg file:make sure you run:%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

gen.exe executequeueditems. This will boost system's performance and ensure reliability.There is an issue with post-sp4 .NET FW 4.0 updates I would like to report, which is not caused by the SP4 itself. (Also applies to legacy v2 of Unofficial SP4).Scenario: Install SP4 -> Enable .NET Framework 4.0-> Run Windows Update Manual Check. -> Install Updates -> reboot -> Installed all updates successfully -> Run Windows Update Manual Check.You will get the .NET Framework 4 GDR update (KB2468871) in the optional updates.Reason: This happens because one of the newest updates deletes the:HKLM, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile\KB2468871" andHKLM, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Extended Profile\KB2468871"registry keys.These keys are necessary to satisfy the WU detection algorithm for the XP product family (not the POSReady one), but they play no other significant role whatsoever; this is actually a flaw in WU detection algorithm.SOLUTION: You can let Windows Update download and install the update automatically (it should not be removed afterwards).These files have been used to build Windows XP SP4 Final (legacy version). They are provided to You under a.
