Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) has been released to the public through Windows Update and Microsoft Download Center, after a slight delay due to incompatibility issue. With the official release of standalone setup install package for Windows XP SP3 on Microsoft Download Center, users no longer need to hack download the SP3 code bits from Windows Update server anymore.
Microsoft names the standalone installation package for SP3 as Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers and intends for who are downloading and installing on multiple computers on a network. But it’s essentially the same thing – a executable in .exe format that when ran, will install and upgrade the Windows XP PC on base of SP1 or SP3 to SP3 version xpsp3_5512.080413-2113, or 5.1.2600.5512.

The above paths are the common paths where this file is located, but does not mean that it must be stored in the above paths. The file should be stored in the actual installation path of the software. Not sure if you guys noticed but after installing WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU, I get 5.1.2600.3023 (30 October 2006) and not 5.1.2600.2765 (28 Sep.

Overview of WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe
What Is WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe?
WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe is a type of EXE file associated with Frontlines Fuel of War developed by THQ for the Windows Operating System. The latest known version of WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe is 1.0.0.0, which was produced for Windows. This EXE file carries a popularity rating of 1 stars and a security rating of 'UNKNOWN'.
What Are EXE Files?
EXE ('executable') files, such as WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe, are files that contain step-by-step instructions that a computer follows to carry out a function. When you 'double-click' an EXE file, your computer automatically executes these instructions designed by a software developer (eg. THQ) to run a program (eg. Frontlines Fuel of War) on your PC.
Every software application on your PC uses an executable file - your web browser, word processor, spreadsheet program, etc. - making it one of the most useful kinds of files in the Windows operating system. Without executable files like WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe, you wouldn't be able to use any programs on your PC.
Why Do I Have EXE Errors?
Because of their usefulness and ubiquity, EXE files are commonly used as a method of delivery for virus / malware infection. Often, viruses will be disguised as a benign EXE file (such as WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe) and distributed through SPAM email or malicious websites, which can then infect your computer when executed (eg. when you double-click the EXE file).
In addition, viruses can infect, replace, or corrupt existing EXE files, which can then lead to error messages when Frontlines Fuel of War or related programs are executed. Thus, any executable files that you download to your PC should be scanned for viruses before opening - even if you think it is from a reputable source.
When Do EXE Errors Occur?
EXE errors, such as those associated with WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe, most often occur during computer startup, program startup, or while trying to use a specific function in your program (eg. printing).
Common WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe Error Messages
