From: LewB on 20 Apr 2010 12:03 There are a number of sites available with a Google and they essentilally all the same. The exact path in Command Prompt is replicated on each site and I have typed this in many times to be certain that backslashes and forwardslasches and spacing is exactly as spelled out in detail on all of them but the same error response comes back that is on my OP. -- LJB "Daave" wrote: > LewB wrote: > > All internet suggestions regarding slipstreaming SP3 in preparation > > for doing a clean computer install require use of Command Prompt. > > When I get to that part and try to integrate an error message appears: > > "WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe" is not recognized as an > > internal or external comma, operable program or batch file.". > > Appreciate suggestions to get around this "road block" > > Lew, please post a link to the directions you used.

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 20 Apr 2010 12:27 On the computer having the problem: Right-click on My Computer & select Properties: What Windows version is displayed in the resulting General tab (e.g., Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1)?

Appreciate suggestions to > get around this "road block" If "WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe" is not recognized as an executable file, first try to re-download it. If you still have the same issue, the fact that you apparently also have problems downloading nlite suggests that there is some underlying problem with your computer. What is the malware status of your pc, and how do you know? -- Lem Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/40th/index.html

In that case, I refer you to Lem's post. In the off-chance you can't see it, here is the content: If "WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe" is not recognized as an executable file, first try to re-download it.
