Is an Office 2000 Professional Post SP3 update / add-on pack available that can provide end-users with the ability to update their Office 2000 setup offline? If so, would someone be so kind as to help point me in that direction?

Thank you much,

To update, I have had success with the Vista OEM DVD that came with the system. It is not just a restore an image like Acronis 2009 would make but is I think an actual Vista installation DVD. It is pre-activated and that is working fine since I only wish to use it on that same machine. I did a clean...

[quote="roirraW "edor""]I have not found any way to slipstream SP2 into the Vista DVD. I had to get an original, new Vista DVD which already had SP2 slipstreamed. Overall I like Vista and Windows 7, and Office 2007, but this is one thing I don't like about them (assuming Windows 7 will be the same),...

I have a Windows Vista DVD and would like to be able to slipstream that Vista DVD with Service Pack 2. But I cannot find any method of doing so in my google searches. I have found how to slip SP1 with that Vista DVD but the program I found (Vista Update Integrator) does not work with SP2. vLite also...

To follow up, I have no luck in finding solution for SP2.

The link I posted above worked for SP1 but gives error message when I try SP2.

Still hoping to find SP2 information here or as I search with Google.

Thank you

:) No problem. Sorry about the link. I couldn't help myself. I found this from the link search: http://apcmag.com/how_to_slipstream_vista_sp1_into_your_vista_install_dvd.htm I am having an attempt to use the process they show but the integrate program is very slow so I'm still waiting to see if it ...

If it's a recovery disc, no.
If it's an installation disc with all the required files, click below.

Thank you for reply

My apology in asking before doing more searches

I have found much about working with Windows XP but also would like to find out how to be able to slip a Gateway Operating System Recovery DVD with Vista. Is it possible to take that Vista DVD and slip it to have Service Pack releases to make it up to date? If yes then could you explain how? Thank y...

Thank you for reply

For my preference I like that IE 8 and WGA are not included in a pack. I rather would make use of IE 7 if I am to upgrade from IE 6.

I think Xables default post SP3 install fits me best. WGA can be had when you do Windows Update and IE 7 can be run offline to install.

I have an update. I use RyanVM to create SP3 slip with Xable post SP3 pack I used also nLite to create same Both appeared working fine. Using RyanVM to slip had these ready to do windows update: Cumulative Security Update For ActiveX Killbits For Windows XP (KB973346) Internet Explorer 8 For Windows...

Thank you for reply

Unfamiliar with nLite. Will do some google research before asking question about nLite

Thank you

Thank you for reply

Xable pack is working with RyanVM to slip?

Ryan's includes EVERY hotfix that MS releases. If you just want Windows Update hotfixes: http://xable.net/forums/viewtopic.php?id=86 http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5687 ( http://red.caek.org/addons/xpsp3upd.txt ) So to understand properly, RyanVM is in actual terms not as lean, includi...

Thank you for reply I have trouble sorting out different packs. I will do more reading to better understand. I think I would like to try slip of SP3 then include RyanVM post SP3 and only the 12 or 15 of the listed KB above. Some other packs include more than that but are helpful to users too. Thank ...

Look in the Windows XP section of this forum and you will find a couple of packs that are actually up to date... Ryans pack is getting rather old. Thank you for reply RyanVM includes only official patches just like those on Microsoft Update I think. I would like to keep the slip the same way, to on...

To try updating my XP with RyanVM I added SP3 and RyanVM post-sp3 and then do an install on an empty drive. Then I did Windows Update and it showed only these updates were needed: KB971633 - Security Update For Windows XP KB961371 - Security Update For Windows XP KB961501 - Security Update For Windo...
