SUMMARY
Microsoft Office XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) provides the latest updates to Office XP. Office XP SP2 contains significant security enhancements and improvements in stability and performance. Some of the fixes that are included with Office XP SP2 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 XP programs.

This article describes how to download and install the Office XP SP2.



How to download and install Office XP SP2
Important Before you install the Office XP SP2 Client Update, install Office XP Service Pack 1 (SP1). For additional information about how to install Office XP SP-1, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

307843 Description of the Office XP Service Pack 1 (SP-1)

Note You do not have to install Office XP SP1 before you install the Office XP SP2 Administrative Update.

Client update
If you installed Office XP from a CD-ROM, use one of the following methods:
 * Use the Office Product Updates Web site to automatically install all the latest updates, including Service Pack 2.
 * Install only Service Pack 2, by following the steps described later in this article.

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

Office product updates

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.

Install only Service Pack 2

To download and install only the SP2 client update, follow these steps:  Visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/officexpstandard/sp/oxpsp2/w98nt42kmexp/en-us/oxpsp2.exe

 Click Save to save the Oxpsp2.exe file to the selected folder. In Windows Explorer, double-click Oxpsp2.exe. If you are prompted to install the update, click Yes. Click Yes to accept the License Agreement. Insert your Office XP 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 XP SP2, you cannot remove it. To return to an installation before SP2, you must remove all of Office XP, and then install it again from the original CD.

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, download the administrative update. To do so, follow these steps: <ol> Visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/officexpstandard/sp/oxpsp2/w98nt42kmexp/en-us/oxpsp2a.exe

</li> Download the file to your desktop.</li> In Windows Explorer, double-click Oxpsp2a.exe.</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:\Oxpsp2a, and then click OK.</li> Click Yes when you are prompted to create the folder.</li> If you are familiar with the procedure for updating your administrative installation, click Start and then click Run. Type the following command in the Open box

msiexec /a \  /p C:\Oxpsp2a\  SHORTFILENAMES=1

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

where  is the .msi database package for the Office XP product (for example, ProPlus.msi), and

where  is the name of the public administrative installation update.

Note You can append /qb+ to the command line, so that the Office XP Administrative Installation dialog box and the End User License Agreement dialog box do not appear.</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 XP (for example, C:\OfficeXP),

where  is the MSI database package for the Office XP product (for example, ProPlus.msi), and

where  is the list of feature names (case sensitive) that have to be reinstalled for the update. To install all features, you can use REINSTALL=ALL.</li></ol>

Administrative Installation For more information about how to update your administrative installation and deploy to client workstations, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

301348 How to install a public update to administrative installations of Office XP

This article contains standard instructions for installing an administrative public update.

Or, you can see the following article in the Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/orkXP/HA011525331033.aspx

Setup.ini version is not updated on administrative installations
The Setup.ini file, located in the Files\Setup folder of an administrative installation, contains a [Product] section that includes product version information. This version information is not updated after you apply SP2 to your administrative installation. This is different from updates for earlier versions of Office.

Restart the computer during installation
Under the following conditions, the installation of Office XP SP2 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 the update.</li> SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft is installed. To prevent the computer from restarting, shut down the SharePoint Team Services service before you apply the update.</li></ul>

Office SP2 may require Office CD-ROM or network installation location
To make sure 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.

Access 2002 indexes change when upsizing to SQL after install of SP2
After upgrading to Office XP Service Pack 2, if the Access Wizard files do not upgrade correctly, descending indexes in Access 2002 that have been upsized to SQL Server are still upsized as ascending indexes.

Office XP Multilingual User Interface Pack
For complete Office XP SP2 functionality when you are using an Office XP Multilingual User Interface Pack, you must install all the following updates:
 * http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=D4D8A9A4-31FC-480B-9CD9-ADCCB6997CE3&displaylang=EN
