2k3 patches without CD

Tim Mulholland · Jun 10, 2004

Is it possible to apply the patches to Office 2003 without having the CD
inserted?

I'm trying to update some machines at a remote office, but its a hassle to
have to call them up and ask them to put a disc in the drive everytime i'm
doing the updates.
Also makes it quite difficult to do at 3am which is my preferred work time

Thanks in advance,

Tim

If you enabled the "Local installation source" option (and didn't choose to
remove local installation source files when the installer exited) then yes,
you won't need the CDs.

If you don't have the LIS, you should install the patches using the full
file patches.

i downloaded the full-file updates from this website:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/updates/2003/default.htm and the ones
i've run on my computer so far have all asked for me to insert the disc
(admittedly, i only inserted two of them).

Is that abnormal?
