You cannot install the Word 2000 Security Update: Macro Vulnerability without Office 2000 source files (328235)

MORE INFORMATION

You can use an administrative installation point if you are installing the security update on a large number of computers. An administrative installation point is a centralized copy of the Office 2000 Setup files. You can use an administrative installation point for a standardized installation of workstations and to simplify the application of patches to many computers.

Create an Office Administrative Installation Point

To create an Office administrative installation point on network server:

NOTE: You cannot use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) versions of Office 2000 to create administrative installation points.

For additional information about this limit, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

1. On the network server, create a shared folder to contain the Office 2000 files.
   
   NOTE: The shared folder must be located on a hard disk with at least 550 megabytes (MB) of available disk space.
2. Log on to a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows NT, or Microsoft Windows 2000 as a user with write access to the shared folder, and then connect to the shared folder. To do so, click Start, click Run, type the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to the server, and then click OK. For example, type \\ServerName\ShareName, where ServerName is the administrative installation point server, and ShareName is the installation point shared folder name.
3. Put the Office 2000 CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
4. Click Start, click Run, type CD-ROM drive:\setup.exe /a data1.msi, and then click OK.
5. Type the product key, and then press ENTER.
6. Type the name of your corporation in the Company box, and then press ENTER.
   
   NOTE: The name of your corporation appears in the startup screens that appear to users when they open Office programs.
7. In the License and Support Information dialog box, click to accept the license agreement, and then press ENTER.
8. In the Installation Location dialog box, type the UNC path you used in step 2, and then click Install Now.

Setup then copies the Office 2000 files from the CD-ROM to the network server. Setup also modifies the Windows Installer package for Office (Data1.msi) to identify the network share as an administrative installation point.
