SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2) Adminpak (support tools) on a computer that already has Windows 2000 Service Pack 1, the Adminpak installation may not complete successfully.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because, by design, the support tools from a later service pack are not to be installed on an earlier version of the operating system.



MORE INFORMATION
Beginning with Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, the level of the Support Tools (Adminpak) must match the level of the service pack that is installed on the computer.
