Administrative "Full- File" Update/Patch Versions

[Michael Waltrip]

Hello (to Susan Ramlet, hopefully
Regarding recent posts and this article..

Recommendations for Updating Office XP and Office 2000 Installation
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/updates/patch_oxpo2k.ht

The section "Applying full-file patches to clients", helps me understand a little better why what is going on (and why a failure might mean)

I wonder if there is anyway to find out specifically what the problem is. (i.e. which files are un-versioned, or unexpected, or corrupt). In particular, is the "corrupted"/"unversioned" releated to something needed

I don't think there is a way to find out (so far), but maybe..

I noticed that "multilingual" files listed as a possibility that might trigger a source.
(Like the late Johnny Cash, "This Computers been everywhere, Man".

Thanks again
Michael

It's unclear what you mean by failure. Are you referring to prompts to
insert the CD? Or are there other failures to which you're referring?
