echo XPSP3 registry key has been set. Please check for updates in Windows Update

Copy paste this in a Notepad and Save it as SP3.CMD. It will add some registry keys which will make Windows Update believe that you are a member of the private beta program. Then, you launch Windows Update (via Windows help) to download Windows XP SP3.
