It's improbable that MS released discs of XP in 2019 with the latest SP integrated. This is just the latest version of SP available as a standalone installer.

If you plan to use it more than once, I'd check a tool like nLite to create my own fully updated disc from the latest official ISO + latest SP

thanks but a bit complicated for this purpose, maybe will be enough discovering which is the last version of the ISO in spanish and trying to find it

Is there any reason to believe they released any newer media than the SP3 media? While Microsoft in the Windows 10/11 era has released updated mid-year ISOs, I didn't think that was the norm before the move to cumulative updates with Win10. In fact, it was one of the big problems with Windows 7 - they never released a second service pack, so if you were installing 7 in 2015, you had to manually install 5 years' worth of updates afterwards.

I wonder if you're being confused by Wikipedia. When Wikipedia says "Final Release blah blah blah", they don't mean "last discs known to have been made", they mean "last version with all the available patches".

Same thing if you look at, say, the entry for Mac OS X Tiger. It says "Latest Release 10.4.11". I am pretty sure I have never heard of a Tiger retail DVD with newer than... 10.4.6? So if you want 10.4.11 on your vintage PPC Mac, you're installing 10.4.6 and the 10.4.11 combo updater... but at least there it's easy, there aren't 100+ patches and Apple's Software Update still works, unlike Microsoft's.

XP SP3 was the final release for XP from Microsoft. 21 April 2008. The last updates 8 April 2014. XP Embeded was 9 April 2019.
But you could get then on a Select Plus CD until 2020.

I have seen an "unofficial" SP4 similar to the ones for 95(95D/1.05) & 98SE (SP 3.66/98SE2ME).
I am sure someone may have "ARCHIVED" it online, on a well known website for such uses...

NTLite should still be a viable, free, legal method to slipstream to near complete also

The last official MS Spanish ISO volume licence iso has the file name.
es_windows_xp_professional_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_vl_x14-74009.iso
Outside of SP3 no other updates would be included, so would still have IE6 for example.

Other versions like OEM, Retail, etc I've no idea but if anything, I would think are older as came on CD which is much harder to update vs uploading an iso to a website.

Although for your issue just sounds like autoplay isn't enabled, or maybe disabled by a security update? as infected USB sticks was a pretty common way of getting a virus.
