Where can I download WSS3 with Service Pack 1 (x64)?

Question

Does anyone know if it's possible to download 64 bit WSS3 with Service Pack 1. All the downloads I have found are for SP2 but I need SP1.

My production environment runs SP1 and this can't be upgraded so my local environment must match it in order for me to restore the content database and site collection backups.

UPDATE: I should have indicated that I'm looking for the 64 bit version of WSS3. The 64 bit installer from Microsoft has SP2 packaged up in it.

Answer 1

Thanks for all the answers so far. I have managed to resolve the issue myself.

I was attempting to install WSS3 onto Server 2008. It seems that during the install process SP2 is downloaded and installed. I can only assume SP2 is required for WSS3 to work on 2008.

I'm now using a machine running Server 2003 and have managed to install WSS3 SP1.

I should have been more detailed in my question with regards to the environment I was using.

Thanks again, Robert

Here are the links:

• Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 x86
• Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 x64
• SP1 for WSS 3.0 (both x64 and x86 versions are included)

Answer 3

If you don´t want to install SP1 manually I would download WSS 3.0 and SP1 and build my own slipstreamed version. You can check this blog out even it´s for SharePoint Server 2007 with SP2 it should be done in almost the same way.
