After searching google.groups.com and finding no answer, Manxman asked:
| Milly:
|
| thank you for the reply. If it is just checking file versions, why
| not just use the ones that have been installed to my hard drive?
|
| Whatever the reason for the CD, it is just plain inconvenient to have
| to put it in 3 times in the same overall session. The way the
| updates worked, I had to do 3 separate passes. And, because Office
| 2000 requires 2 CDs, that compounds the issue. The first pass could
| have made a small database of the info required for passes 2 and 3.

||| updates.
|||
||| Due to requirements of the resulting downloads, I was prompted 3

|||
||| I found it very inconvenient to have to use the CD so often. Can
||| you make it so that I only have to prove it once?
