A. A. Update.exe that ships with Service Pack 3 checks for the existance of a hotfix subdirectory, and if in that directory the files hotfix.exe and hotfix.inf are present you are asked when running update.exe if you also want to install the hotfixes.
Create a direrectory to hold the extracted Service Pack
md servpackExtract the Service Pack
nt4sp3_i /x
You will be asked for a directory, enter the created directory, e.g. e:servpack and click OKCreate a hotfix subdirectory
md hotfixExtract the hotfixes to this directory using the instructions in the previous FAQ
Run UPDATE.EXE in the servpack directory and click Yes when asked to install Hotfixes
