Windows XP Service Pack 2 and 3 Win XP SP2, SP3 +
Bulgarian Language Pack for Download
Recently I had to fix up an old
Compaq PC, 800Mhz CPU speed,
20GB hdd, 256 MBytes of memory.
Since the PC wasn't used for a long time and already had Windows
Installed it was necessary that I update the PC's default Installed
Windows installation to prevent the OS from getting infected
immediately after it's connected to the net.
The Windows XP installed on the desktop PC had only Service Pack 1
and thus the Windows was quite obsolete.
It took me a while of googling and downloading to Download XP
Service 1 and XP's Service pack 3 and install them on the PC.
Moreover the PC needed to have installed a Bulgarian Language pack,
because by default the Windows's environment was already configured
with a Dutch language pack.
I needed the XP's Bulgarian Language pack cause the PC was about to
be sent to Bulgaria and used by some Bulgarian guy who doesn't have
knowledge in either Dutch nor English.
Since
it took me a while to find and download and install the XP
SP 2,XP SP 3, and the Bulgarian language pack I thought it will
be handy to put the three softs together here on my webserver and
possibly easify the life of someone who needs to have the 3 pieces
of soft installed.
Here are the Win XP SP2, SP3 and the Bulgarian Language
pack:
Download
WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe / Windows XP Service Pack
2
Download
WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe / Windows XP Service Pack
3
Download Bulgarian.Language.Pack.For.Windows.XP.SP2.rar
Downloda Bulgarian Interface Pack for Windows XP.msi
I have to say that it was rather strange but I found two files
which actually were about to do the trick of adding cyrillizing the
Windows XP install (changing the OS locale to Bulgarian by
default).
I've personally used the
Bulgarian Interface Pack for Windows
XP.msi which is a smaller piece of file (3.5MB), The other
Language pack - the archive
(Bulgarian.Language.Pack.For.Windows.XP.SP2.rar) is actually (5.0M)
and I have no clue if it correctly changes the Windows XP default
outlook to bulgarian, so if somebody tests it and can confirm it
works fine let me know in the comments please :)
The two files SP2 and SP3 checksums are:
WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe size is (266M)
59a98f181fe383907e520a391d75b5a7
WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe's size is (317M)

The Service Packs I've mirrored directly from Microsoft's website
and the Language Packs, were downloaded from a bulgarian website
and one of them was sent to me by a friend who is in Bulgaria. It
was quite a struggle to actually find the Language Packs since most
of the websites where the Language Packs were available were
filtered for outside of the Bulgarian Internet space.
I hope this files will be of use to somebody.
