But what about the ever present "Error 1706, not a valid installation
file", or something along those lines?
I had initially downloaded the update & tried to run it. When it asked for
the CD or source files, I pointed it to the network share where I have the
Office 2000 source files & recieved that error message.

Use the downloads option rather than allowing Office Updates to do it for
you. Use the Office Updates to see what is being offered. Cancel out and
go to Office Downloads or the MSKB if the Office Updates references a KB
article.
Save the updates to a specific folder on your hard drive and then burn that
folder to a CD-RW. Use a CD-RW as you can opt to allow for additional files
to be written as additional patches come out.
