3 (SP3), you do not have to install Windows XP SP2.

Pack 2 installed in order to install Windows XP Service Pack 3..."

Hi Bob,

Technically, it probably DOES include SP1 and SP2.

However it will not install on a machine with XP gold only. It only installs
on those XP machines that already have at least SP1 or SP2 installed.
