SUMMARY
Microsoft Office 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) provides the latest updates to Microsoft Office 2000. Office 2000 SP3 contains significant security enhancements and improvements in stability and performance. Some of the fixes that are included with Office 2000 SP3 were released earlier as separate updates. This service pack combines the updates into one integrated package and includes a number of other changes that are designed to improve the reliability and performance of your Office 2000 programs.

This article describes how to download and install Office 2000 SP3.



How to Download and Install Office 2000 SP3
Important Before you install the Microsoft Office 2000 SP3 Client Update or the Microsoft Office 2000 SP3 Administrative Update, install Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1a (SR-1a). For additional information about how to install Office 2000 SR-1a, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

245025 How to obtain and install the Office 2000 SR-1/SR-1a Update

Client Update
If you installed Office 2000 from a CD-ROM, you have the following two options:
 * Use the Office Product Updates Web site to automatically install all of the latest updates, including Office 2000 SP3.
 * Only install only the Office 2000 SP3 Client Update by following the steps described in the &quot;Office 2000 SP3 Client Update&quot; section of this article.

For both options, you must have your Office 2000 CD-ROM available during the installation process.

Office Product Updates Web Site
To have the Office Product Updates Web site detect the required updates that you must install on your computer, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://office.microsoft.com/ProductUpdates/default.aspx

After detection is complete, you receive a list of recommended updates for your approval. Click Start Installation to complete the process.

Office 2000 SP3 Client Update
To download and install Office 2000 SP3 Client Update only, follow these steps:  Using your Web browser, locate the following Microsoft Web site:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/office2000/SP/3/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/o2ksp3.exe

 Click Save to save the O2ksp3.exe file to the selected folder. In Windows Explorer, double-click o2ksp3.exe. If you are prompted to install the update, click Yes. Click Yes to accept the License Agreement. Insert your Office 2000 CD-ROM when you are prompted to do so, and then click OK. When you receive a message that indicates the installation was successful, click OK.</li></ol>

Note After you install Office 2000 SP3, you cannot remove it. To return to an installation before Office 2000 SP3, you must remove all Office 2000, and then install it again from the original CD-ROM.

Office 2000 SP3 Administrative Update
If you installed any of the products listed at the beginning of this article from a server location, the server administrator must update the server location with the administrative public update and deploy that update to your computer.

If you are the server administrator, follow these steps to download the administrative update: <ol> Locate the following Microsoft Web site:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/office2000/SP/3/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/o2ksp3a.exe

</li> Download the file to your desktop.</li> In Windows Explorer, double-click the o2ksp3a.exe file.</li> Click Yes to accept the License Agreement.</li> In the Please type the location where you want to place the extracted files box, type C:\O2ksp3a, and then click OK.</li> Click Yes when you are prompted to create the folder.</li> Click Start, and then click Run. Type the following command in the Open box

msiexec /a \  /p C:\O2ksp3a\  SHORTFILENAMES=1

where  is the path to your administrative installation point for Office 2000 (for example, C:\Office2000),

where  is the .msi database package for the Office 2000 product (for example, Data1.msi), and

where  is the name of the public administrative installation update.

Note If you do not want the Office 2000 Administrative Installation dialog box and the End User License Agreement dialog box to appear, you can add /qb+ to the command line.</li> To deploy the update to the client workstations, click Start, and then click Run. Type the following command in the Open box

msiexec /i \  REINSTALL=  REINSTALLMODE=vomus

where  is the path to your administrative installation point for Office 2000 (for example, C:\Office2000), and

where  is the MSI database package for the Office 2000 product (for example, Data1.msi).</li></ol>

Notes About Office 2000 SP3
Both the client and the administrative version of Office 2000 SP3 contain an upgrade to the Access Run Time Executable.

Note The Access Run Time Executable is not installed with Office 2000. It is available only with the Office Developer Tools. If you have not installed the Access Run Time feature from the Office Developer Tools, the ARTSP3.msp (client) file and the ARTSP3ff.msp (administrative) file are not applicable. If you have the full Microsoft Access 2000 program installed, Access 2000 will be updated with the MainSP3.msp (client) file or the MainSP3ff.msp (administrative) file. For additional information about how to upgrade Access Run Time installations, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

 * Mainsp3ff.msp: A full-file administrative update of the core components for Office 2000.
 * Cd2sp3ff.msp: A full-file administrative update of the CD-ROM 2 components for Microsoft Office 2000 Professional, Microsoft Office 2000 Premium, and Microsoft Office 2000 Small Business.

The English, French, German and Japanese language versions of the Administrative download includes the following update:

Restart the Computer During Installation
Under the following conditions, the installation of Office 2000 SP3 may require you to restart your computer: <ul> You are running Microsoft Windows 2000 and you do not have the most recent version of the Windows Installer. To prevent the computer from restarting, upgrade to Windows Installer 2.0. For more information, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4B6140F9-2D36-4977-8FA1-6F8A0F5DCA8F

</li> The Office Shortcut Bar is running. To prevent the computer from restarting, shut down the Office Shortcut Bar before you apply Office 2000 SP3.</li> The SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft is installed. To prevent the computer from restarting, shut down the SharePoint Team Services service before you apply Office 2000 SP3.</li></ul>

Office 2000 SP3 May Require the Office CD-ROM or the Network Installation Location
To make sure of the integrity of your Office installation, the Installation Wizard may require access to the Office product CD or your network installation location during the installation process.

Microsoft Access 2000 Indexes Change When You Upsize to SQL After You Install of Office 2000 SP3
After you install Office 2000 SP3, if the Access Wizard files do not upgrade properly, descending indexes in Access 2000 that have been upsized to SQL Server are still upsized as ascending indexes. This issue occurs because the Access Wizard files are unversioned files and they are not updated properly after you install Office 2000 SP3. For additional information about this issue and steps that you can take to avoid it, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

331976 Unversioned files are not updated after you install an Office 2000 service pack, hotfix, or patch

Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1 (SR1) MultiLanguage Pack
For complete Office 2000 SP3 functionality, install both of the following if you are using the Office 2000 SR1 MultiLanguage Pack:
 * Office 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3)
 * Office 2000 Service Pack 3 for Office 2000 SR1 MultiLanguage Pack
