Quick Note: WSS 3.0 SP1 Version Info
If like me, you also have the tendency to forget (*not that I wish for it*) the version numbers before and after SP1 is applied, here is a little visual help for all of us.
- Original release version of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 is 12.0.0.4518. This applies to both WSS and MOSS installations – Remember, MOSS is built on the top of WSS.
- Updated version of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 after SP1 is installed is 12.0.0.6219.
If you are going to install a clean WSS from the scratch either on 2003 or 2008, I would highly suggest you to go for WSS with SP1 Slipstream. It can be downloaded for both 32 bit and 64 bits.Update: You’ll see slipstream bits for MOSS SP1 in the next few weeks.
Update (9/March/2008): Wait for MOSS 2007 SP1 slipstream is finally over , see Joel Olson’s post at http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2008/03/07/moss-2007-with-sp1-slipstream-officeserverwithsp1-exe-released.aspx
Update (07/August/2008): Applying Infrastructure roll up? Here is the new version – https://blogs.devhorizon.com/reza/?p=593
Reza, What do you mean by WSS with SP1 Slipstream?
Thanks
Rotte,
it is the full WSS 3.0 with SP1. MS released this to make installs much easier , specially for clean installs and 2008.
