Recent Security Update for WORD 2000

A

MS recently issued a security update for WORD-2000.

The update was downloaded. The installation process required installing the
CD for “OFFICE 2000 SR-1 Premiumâ€.

My CD is marked “OFFICE 2000 Premiumâ€.
I got the error message: “OFFICE 2000 Premium is not a valid packageâ€.

I tried the suggested option of downloading a larger update package that
might not require a CD. This option still required the above CD and thus
failed.

How can I install the security update for WORD 2000?

My system:
WINDOWS 2000 PRO, Version 5.0, SP-4.
WORD 2000 9.0 SP-3, SR-1a installed.

Thank you for your help

Hi ATK-31.,

When the Office 2000 SR1 or SR1a update is installed
then the MS Installer 'sees' that as being the
same as having the Office 2000 SR1 copy of the CD.
(Check the listing in Add/Remove Programs in the
Windows control panel).

You may want to try a repair/reinstall of Office to
see if that succeeds. You can get the error from
a corrupted Office installation, outdated or corrupted MS Installer
or the installer finding a Setup.exe other than
the one on the CD.

Dear Mr. Buckland,

One can always format the hard disc, re-install the software and see what
happens. Microsoft probably assumes that its clients do not have to work and
have nothing better to do than to experiment with faulty software.

How about providing RELIABLE SOFTWARE and security updates that can be
readily installed?
