Administrative Updates

[Jim M]

In Office XP, do I need to install Service Pack 1 to an administrative
installation point before I install Service Pack 2 or does Service Pack 2
include all the updates? I know on the regular update you have to install
both but I'm not sure about the Administrative update. Service Pack 2 is a
bigger file than Service Pack 1 so I am thinking it includes both.

In Office 2000, when I try to install Service Pack 3 to an administrative
installation, it wants me to enter the product key. This doesn't seem right.
Can anyone who has installed this shed any light on it? I have an
administrative install of Office SR-1 with no service packs applied and
trying to apply Service Pack 3. Here is the command line I used:

msiexec /a D:\Off09Std\data1.msi /p D:\Off09-Upd\MAINSP3ff.msp
SHORTFILENAMES=1

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

I added the /qb+ to this command line and that took care of the product key
screen.
