How to install the SMS 2.0 Software Update Services Feature Pack update
To install the update, download and install the new version of the SMS 2.0 Software Update Services Feature Pack. If you are installing over an earlier version of this feature pack, the Setup program will prompt you about removing the existing installation. However, you can keep the existing SMS objects that you used in the earlier version of the SUS Feature Pack. Setup reuses these objects.

Note You must select the option to download a new catalog when the Setup program presents that option. By selecting this option, you make sure that you use the most recent Mssecure.xml files that are available.

Most of the setup process involves copying the newer files. When the setup process is completed, review the settings for the package, for the program, for the collections, and for the advertisements to make sure that they are correct for your environment. Setup uses default settings. However, these default settings may not suit all environments, particularly if you use customized settings.

How to install the SMS 2003 Software Update Scanning Tools update
To install the update, download and install the new version of SMS 2003 Software Update Scanning Tools. If you install this update over an earlier version of these tools, the Setup program will prompt you with Upgrade or Uninstall options. Microsoft recommends that you select the Upgrade option, as it will preserve the configuration of the current packages, programs, and collections that are associated with the scan tool. If you want to perform a clean installation, select the Uninstall option, complete the Setup wizard, and then run the Setup program again.
