office 2000 sp3---can i install only 1 msp file?

[JimiBlues]

Hi,

I am getting errors upon updating my adminstrative install point with sp3
only for two out of the three msp's. The main msp

MAINSP3ff.msp

but the other two

ARTSP3ff.msp
SP3CD2ff.msp

fail with the below error.

i know this is Access Runtime and CD 2 patches---if i skip these msp's and
use my point that has been p atched only with the main msp, is this a stable
configuration?


thanks.

Yes... if you only installed the Mainsp3ff.msp into your admin point that is
still considered a "stable" Admin point.

You may not have installed the Access Runtime and CD 2 components to your
admin point and that is fine.
