2. INSTALLING MICROSOFT OFFICE 2000 SP-2

2.1 Applications That Microsoft Office 2000 SP-2 Can Be Applied to -- You can only apply Microsoft Office 2000 SP-2 to the following applications:

Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Premium CD1 Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Professional CD1 Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Standard Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Small Business CD1 Microsoft Outlook 2000 SR-1 Microsoft Access 2000 SR-1 Microsoft Excel 2000 SR-1 Microsoft Word 2000 SR-1 Microsoft FrontPage 2000 SR-1 Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 SR-1 Microsoft Access RunTime 2000 SR-1

If none of the above products are found on the system, a message appears stating that the expected version of the product has not been found and the installation process is terminated.

2.2 Updating Administrative Installation Points --- Doubleclicking sp2admin.exe will extract the following four patch files and a Word document to a directory you specify:

Sp2admin.msp Out2kmst.msp Pptmst.msp Excelmst.msp Readadm.doc

SP2admin.msp contains most of the changes that are included in the Office 2000 SP2 patch. In addition, the out2kmst.msp, pptmst.msp and excelmst.msp files provide additional functionality for Outlook 2000, PowerPoint 2000, and Excel 2000. To upgrade an Office 2000 SR-1 administrative installation point so that you have a clean Office 2000 SP-2 installation point, you need to apply all of the four patch files to the Office 2000 SR-1 administrative installation point.

The following table illustrates when you need to apply each Office 2000 SP-2 patch file to an Office 2000 SR-1 administrative share point:

Patch name Apply patch? Sp2admin.msp   Always Out2kmst.msp   Always, unless the Outlook 2000 Security Patch has been applied. Documented in Q235309 http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q235/3/09.asp Pptmst.msp Always, unless the PowerPoint 2000 HTML Security update has been applied. Documented in the following location: http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2000/journ/ExcelPptScriptUpd_2.htm Excelmst.msp   Always, unless the patch for KB Q264719 has been applied. Documented in the following location: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q276/2/57.asp

The modifications associated with the Out2kmst.msp, pptmst.msp and excelmst.msp files could not be included in the sp2admin.msp file due to a Windows Installer limitation described in the following KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q278/0/78.asp

If you have already applied the fixes contained in the out2kmst.msp, the pptmst.msp and excelmst.msp files to the SR-1 administrative installation point you are about to apply SP-2 to, then you cannot apply them again. If you are not sure if the fixes have been applied to the SR-1 administrative installation point, follow the steps below to make sure your SP-2 update is complete: 1. Apply the Sp2admin.msp file. 2. Apply the outmsk2st.msp file. If the code change contained in this file was not applied previously, the patching process will complete successfully. If the code change included in this msp file was applied previously to the administrative installation point, the following error will appear: Internal Error 2250: Please contact product support for assistance. Click on OK and proceed to the next step. 3. Apply the Pptmst.msp file. If the code change contained in this file was not applied previously, the patching process will complete successfully. If the code change included in this msp file was applied previously to the administrative installation point, the following error will appear: Internal Error 2251: Please contact product support for assistance. Click on OK and proceed to the next step. 4. Apply the Excelmst.msp file. If the code change contained in this file was not applied previously, the patching process will complete successfully. If the code change included in this msp file was applied previously to the administrative installation point, the following error will appear: Internal Error 2251: Please contact product support for assistance.

Click on OK. The SP-2 update is now complete.

To extract all the files to the &quot;c:\extract&quot; directory from a command line, type the following at a command prompt:

sp2admin.EXE /t:c:\extract /c

To apply each msp to an administrative installation point you need to use the following command line:

[start] msiexec /p [path\name of update MSP file] /a [path\name of MSI file] SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L*v [path\name of log file]

Note: the verbose log file switch (/L*v) and the quiet mode switch (/qb) are optional. See Office Resource Kit or Microsoft developer Network for more information on msi command line switches.

Note: For best results the patch files should be applied from the console of the machine containing the administrative installation point. Please ensure that the files on the share point are not in use when the patches are being applied. If there are multiple administrative installation points, you may replace the remaining administrative installation points with the updated administrative installation point after backing up any custom transform, setup.ini or other files on the share points.

2.3 How to Update Your Workstations to SP-2 ---

Use one of the following methods to update workstations on which

Office 2000 SR-1 was already installed from your administrative installation point.

Method 1: Run Setup.exe from your administrative installation point at each workstation.

Method 2: Click Start, Run... and run the following command line from each workstation:

msiexec /i \Data1.msi reinstall=all reinstallmode=vomus

where  is the path to your administrative installation point for Office 2000 SP-2.
