Upgrade An Office Distribution Share

Hello,

I set up an Office 2000 distribution share point by running an
administrative install. I also have run the Custom Installation Wizard
provided with the Office 2000 Resource Kit to create a transform file so
that I can manage and deploy via Group Policy. All has been successful.

Now, I am upgrading to Outlook XP. Somehow, I would like to integrate the
files with those of Office 2000 so that when Office is installed, Outlook XP
is included. Is this even possible?

The reason I ask, is because when I tried to create a new Software
Installation Package in Group Policy for Outlook, in the wizard, it assumed
that it was upgrading Office 2000 (even though the two distribution points
are in separate locations). I could not figure out how to change this.
Actually, at first, I thought it would be okay, but when I joined a computer
to the network, it didn't install Office 2000, just Outlook XP. I'm sure
this has to do with the fact that the Outlook package is superceding the
Office package but I'm not sure.

That's why I was hoping that there is a way to combine the Outlook XP and
Office 2000 files together and create one single package. I would appreciate
any help on this one. Thanks,

Chris
