Hi,
The computer on which I'm installing Office 2000 is not connected to the
internet, so I want to download all the updates.
I mucked around msdn and findally decided I should start with Office 2000
Service Pack 3 (SP3), but
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;326585&spid=2484&sid=485 says :
Important Before you install the Microsoft Office 2000 SP3 Client Update or
the Microsoft Office 2000 SP3 Administrative Update, install Microsoft
Office 2000 Service Release 1a (SR-1a).
So I mucked around some more and came to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245025/, which says: 1. To download and
install the SR-1/SR-1a Update, use your Web browser to visit the following
Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...03-7633-45b4-ab96-795ee656f2a2&displaylang=en
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...03-7633-45b4-ab96-795ee656f2a2&displaylang=en)
2. On the right side of the Web page, click Download. If you are
prompted with the choice to Open or to Save O2ksr1a.exe, click Open. The
SR-1a update starts downloading now. Because of the relatively large size of
the download, this process can take up to several hours, depending on your
Internet connection speed.
With instructions as clear as that, how can I go wrong? I visited the
URL. I clicked the download button. A popup opened (Why must we have
popups?) The popup loads slowly and shows me some text before it changes
and says the page cannot be displayed. Of course, the popup gives
absolutely no clues as to what the problem might be.
I also get a window telling me about the download, including: If your
download does not start, click this link: Start download. Clicking that
start download link also results in a message box to run, save or cancel,
and that the file size is 165 KB. Well, the instructions said I would be
prompted with open or save, not RUN or save. But I figure maybe run means
the same as open, because when I try save, I just get a 165 KB useless file.
The only problem is, clicking run gives me a message saying do I want to run
or not run the update. WELL, I'M TRYING TO DOWNLOAD IT like the
instructions said, NOT RUN IT. The don't run button just terminates the
process. The run button complains that the update program did not locate
the expected version of Microsoft Office 2000 on this machine. Of course
not! That machine is not connected to the internet!
Anyhow, I can't get the SR-1a.
Questions:
What are the URLs to download all the stuff I need to update Office
2000 Premium. Hopefully just plain urls on which I can right click and
select save target as ...
Thanks for any help you can give me. This is so frustrating.
