As title says, have been searching the FTP and the web all day for Swedish Service Pack 3 for Windows NT 3.50 (note: 3.50, not 3.51) without success. Have also been trying to find the Service Pack in any language except English, been googling for Swedish, German, French etc and found nothing at all! All I can find is the English version and no trace of any other language versions.

So my question is simply: was SP3 for Windows NT 3.50 ever released in any language other than English?

Regards

I think so, NT 3.1 SP3 did the same, so SP3 for NT 3.5 should do the same.

Yes I know Windows NT 3.1 SP3 was released in multiple languages.
NT 3.1 SP3 and NT 3.50 SP2 are really easy to come by though, while I can't even find a trace of NT 3.50 SP3 in any other language than English. Been searching almost every MSDN disc on FTP labeled "Service Pack" or similar, also there's nothing in the Service Pack directory and can't find nothing whatsoever on Google (except people asking the same question as I do).
That's why I don't take it for granted that there are international SP3:s for NT 3.50, at the first sight I did, but when there's none to find I start to wonder.

There is MSDN compilations inside FTP that includes international Windows NT 3.5 sp3 updates, look for it (find 1994-1995 MSDN discs, mostly there are labeled Windows NT Service Packs)

You sure? I've been checking more than a hundred of "Microsoft MSDN Development Platform" discs; everything named something with Service Packs and pretty much everything 95-96 not labeled something very specific (not "Windows 95" etc). Also been looking on all "Microsoft TechNet Subscription" discs (only English releases there and no NT 3.50 it seems).

Still not a single trace of any international release of SP3 for NT 3.50. NT 3.51 SP3 is probably there though, but that's not what I'm searching for.

I've had no problem finding any other Windows Service Packs (NT 3.1 SP3, 3.51 SP5, Windows 95 SP1 etc). These seem to pop up rather frequently on the MSDN discs, just not 3.50 SP3. Even 3.50 SP2 is very easy to come by in any language, and international SP2 is even released on the discs after English SP3 was released on disc.

Regards

I think that Windows NT 3.5 SP3 doesn't release it in any other language. Only English build is available while the NT 3.5 SP2 may have international builds. For October 1995 MSDN, only NT 3.5 SP2 Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish are available, no SP3.

Which one includes the Portuguese/Brazilian NT 3.5 SP2? I've only found the following Portuguese/Brazilian Service Packs for NT 3.x in the /(Misc) Compilations/PC/Microsoft MSDN Development Platform folder:

WINNT351.SP1:
1996-01 - 11 - Windows NT 3.5 SP2, NT 3.51 SP1, Disc 3 [Intl.].rar
1996-04 - 13 - Windows NT 3.5, 3.51 Service Packs [Intl.].rar
1996-01 - 11 - Windows NT 3.5 SP2, NT 3.51 SP1, Disc 3 [Intl.].rar
1996-04 - 13 - Windows NT 3.5, 3.51 Service Packs [Intl.].rar

WINNT351.SP4:
1996-07 - 14 - Windows NT Service Packs.rar

WINNT351.SP5:
1998-01 - 12 - Windows NT 3.51 Workstation [Danish, Portuguese-Brazilian], Windows NT 3.51 SP5 [Portuguese-Brazilian].rar
1997-01 - 13 - Windows 95 and Windows NT Service Packs.rar

Couldn't find anything in the 1995 RARs for NT 3.x, I've checked all files with SP or Service Pack in the name.
