If you were downloading SP3 for Office XP from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FD-6F69-4289-8BD1-EB966BCDFB5E&displaylang=en
, you would have a choice of downloading the client version or the
fullfile version. Both versions are included on the CD.
You should use the client version if you have access to your
installation source (usually Office XP product CDs). You will need to
provide the installation source during patch installation if you have
previously updated your Office XP product(s).
You should use the fullfile version if you do not have access to your
installation source or if you experience problems installing the client
version.
The files on the CD are compressed files. When you click on one of
them, you will be prompted to specify a location on your hard drive
where the SP3 installer can decompress the file to. That location can
be almost anywhere you want, as long as you know where it is, and as
long as it is NOT in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office" or wherever
your Office program files are located.
