MS Security Updates & Office Prompts for CD

C

croy

Whenever I need to install a new Security Update, the target
application wants the CD. It's getting to be a real
irritation, having to located the CD everytime. And the
updates are more frequent than ever!

Is there a workaround?

Ok..

The thing about office 2000 is that there is no LIS and no way to enable the
LIS.
Newer office products still require source when installing patches but they
also have a Local Install Source that they can referrence.

You may want to try installing the filehashpatch from KB835220
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=835220

This patch has been known to reduce the need for source when Office 2000
installs updates. It wont eliminate the need, but should curb it.

The other option is to create an Office 2000 admin point and uninstall and
then reinstall using the Admin Point and leave the admin point accessible.
