SUMMARY

Microsoft Office XP Service Pack 1 (SP-1) provides the latest updates to Office XP. Office XP SP-1 contains significant security enhancements, and also improvements in stability and performance. Some of the fixes that are included with Office XP SP-1 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 SP-1.

MORE INFORMATION

How to Download and Install Office XP SP-1

Client Update

If you installed Office XP from a CD-ROM, you have two options:

Use the Office Product Updates Web site to automatically install all of the latest updates, including Service Pack 1.

-or-

Install only Service Pack 1 by using the steps described below.

Both options require that you 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 you must install on your computer, click the following link:

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 1

To download and install only the SP-1 client update, follow these steps:

Visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/officexpstandard/sp/oxpsp1/w98nt42kmexp/en-us/oxpsp1.exe
Click Save to save the Oxpsp1.exe file to the selected folder.
In Windows Explorer, double-click Oxpsp1.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.

NOTE: After you install the public update, you cannot remove it. To return to an installation earlier than SP-1, you must remove all of Office XP and 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, follow these steps to download the administrative update:

Visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/officexpstandard/sp/oxpsp1/w98nt42kmexp/en-us/oxpsp1a.exe
Download the file to your desktop.
In Windows Explorer, double-click the oxpsp1a.exe file.
Click Yes to accept the License Agreement.
In the Please type the location where you want to place the extracted files box, type C:\oxpsp1a, and then click OK.
Click Yes when you are prompted to create the folder.
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 Admin Path\MSI File /p C:\adminUpdate\MSP File SHORTFILENAMES=1

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

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

where MSP File is the name of the public administrative installation update. NOTE: You can append /qb+ to the previous command line to avoid receiving the Office XP Administrative Installation dialog box and the End User License Agreement dialog box.
To deploy the update to the client workstations, click Start, and then click Run. Type the following command in the Open box

msiexec /i Admin Path\MSI File REINSTALL=Feature List REINSTALLMODE=vomus

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

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

where Feature List is the list of feature names (case sensitive) that must be reinstalled for the update. To install all features, you can use REINSTALL=ALL.

Setup.ini Version Is Not Updated

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 SP-1 to your administrative installation. This is different from updates for earlier versions of Office.

Restarting the Computer During Installation

Under the following conditions, the installation of Office XP SP-1 may require you to restart your computer:

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:

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.

SP-1 May Require Office CD-ROM or 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.
