Can You SlipStream SP1a & 3 into Office 2000??

[Anonymous]

I am trying to figure out a way to slipstream Office 2000 Service Pack 1a and 3 into the installation. Is this possible?

Ok, after 4 days of trying...

I am trying to slipstream SP3 into the Office 2000 install CD.
Steps taken so far that were unsuccessful.

Attempt #1 - Install Entire Office 2000 Suite, IE and Windows Installer

a.) Created Administrative install point
b.) Downloaded Office 2000 SR-1a & SP2 Admin & SP3 Admin
c.) Slipstreamed SR-1a
d.) Slipstreamed SP2
e.) Slipstreamed SP3
f.) Ran install on client PC \"[Admin Path]Setup.exe
g.) Checked MS Office Update Site to see what still needed to be updated
h.) SP3 was not installed, but was also not available to download from there. Stated that due to previously installed Administrative updates, SP3 Administrative update need to be installed.


Attempt #2 - Install Only Updated Office 2000 Suite

a.) Created Administrative install point
b.) Downloaded Office 2000 SR-1a & SP2 Admin & SP3 Admin
c.) Slipstreamed SR-1a
d.) Slipstreamed SP2
e.) Slipstreamed SP3
f.) Ran install on client PC \"msiexec /a [Admin Path]Data1.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus\"
g.) Checked MS Office Update Site to see what still needed to be updated
h.) SP3 was not installed, but was also not available to download from there. Stated that due to previously installed Administrative updates, SP3 Administrative update need to be installed.


Attempt #3 - Install Only Office Suite & Windows Installer

a.) Created Administrative install point
b.) Downloaded Office 2000 SR-1a & SP2 Admin & SP3 Admin
c.) Slipstreamed SR-1a
d.) Slipstreamed SP2
e.) Slipstreamed SP3
f.) Ran install on client PC \"[Admin Path]Setup.exe noie=true\"
g.) Checked MS Office Update Site to see what still needed to be updated
h.) SP3 was not installed, but was also not available to download from there. Stated that due to previously installed Administrative updates, SP3 Administrative update need to be installed.


Now, I downloaded and slipstreamed the Administrative updates. What\'s the deal here?

Here\'s the links to the files I downloaded.

SR-1a Admin - http://download.microsoft.com/download/off...EN-US/data1.exe

SP2 Admin - http://download.microsoft.com/download/off...US/Sp2admin.exe

SP3 Admin - http://download.microsoft.com/download/off...-US/O2kSp3a.exe

What am I doing wrong??? Please help!!

Thanks in advance.

I have created an Administrative Installation point the same way that you did (adding only SP3), then ran the msi\'s for installation. After checking help/about the installation still says SR-1. Also after going to the update site it says that SP3 still needed to installed. I have notice that SP3 is installed by the version of the Office files. I believe this is due to the fact that if you run the updates manually it updates the registry. Like with certain un-named Service Pack Deployment Solutions out there and Windows Update site, they only look to see if the registry keys are there. However they do not check to see if the files are actually updated. Shavlik claims that they not only check the registry, they also check the file version and file date. I hope this helps.
