Is it possible to force install Service Pack 3 (for Windows XP) on Windows server 2003 R2 SP2? How to do that?
1 Answer
You don't. A service pack quite literally is designed to roll up updates for a specific version of windows. One does not simply install a service pack for one version of windows on the other.
Assuming you are an admin, its worth checking if the program will run in compatibility mode. I don't have a system to check if SP3 is explicitly supported, but it seems XP is supported to some extent according to MS's documentation
