>Anyone else download the "full" SP3 and when trying to extract the file "vs6sp3_3.exe" it extracts "vs6sp3_5.cab", rather than "vs6sp3_3.cab, then all the following files are also off the correct sequence? Then, of course, the install fails because one of the .cab files are missing.

You are right... the numbering on the .EXE's doesn't match the CAB files they contains... this is because vs6sp3_1.exe contains setup.exe and some other files. Then _2.exe is CAB1, _3.exe is CAB2... if you extract ALL 12 files it does work.
