Well, it might just be me, but everything up to step 3 worked great. I can get onto the Auto Update website and it finds the SP3, but when it goes to download/install it, it fails before it can even download it. Any help?
Is your flux capacitor fluxing properly?
Or, you can just wait another month or so until it gets formally released and you won’t have to hack WUD to get it… It’s not like it’s a revolutionary change, just some regular patches and tweaks.
I can’t believe you wasted 2 minutes of my life. I want that time back. Give it to me damnit!
