Trying to upgrade to SR1a

B

Bill Sherlock

Hi,

I downloaded and tried to install Office 2000 SR1a. When I
get to the step requiring the Office 2000 CD-ROM, which is
an upgrade version, it tells me that it is not a valid
installation package. When I browse for data1.msi on the CD
and choose it I still get the same message.

Any suggestions as to where to go from here are appreciated.

Hi Bill,

When you get the request for the CD look at the
bottom of that dialog. In the 'use feature from'
is the name of the Office 2000 product/edition listed
there exactly the same as the one on your CD?

A Data1.msi file appeared on CD#1 of each MS Office 2000
series product but other than the name the files are unique
to the product.

If they are the same, what is the version from the properties
of MSIExec.exe on your PC?

Wow. Quick.

Thanks, Bob.

My msiexec version is 2.0.2600.2 and I have Office 2K
Premium, but it's asking for Professional. The update
website says that the update works with Office 2000 without
mention of level.

Hi Bill,

Unfortunately the CD Edition and the
installed edition (Add/Remove Programs)
have to match. The update download works
with all of the editions but the CDs aren't
interchangeable.

If you don't have the matching CD you can uninstall
the one listed, restart the PC then install from the
edition you do have, but, as with any revision to the
PC environment set a restore point and backup your
files first.
