    Re: Office 2000 SR-1a update fails

    I have exact same issue, but now the ftp site seems inaccessible and all versins of the update file I have tried fail with the"core update file size error".

    If you are able to send a link to the SR1 update file to bryn(AT)bryte.co.uk, I would be extremely grateful.

    Many thanks and best regards

    Have you tried to obtain and install the Office 2000 SR-1/SR-1a Update, below is the link:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

    This download is the Extractor(166KB) for it, which will download/upgrade the Core Components. You just have to download the Extractor, open and run it.

    Yes, it fails: Error message says look in the log file, which contains at the end:

    Finished downloading http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...N-US/data2.msp.
    Error: The file, C:\DOCUME~1\Bryn\LOCALS~1\Temp\sr1patch\{0DC0F122-1B1C-11D4-AED6-00C04F022C53}, has an invalid size.
    Error: The Office 2000 SR-1 Core Update patch is missing or invalid.
    Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 setup ended prematurely because of an error.

    This issue occurs if your computer does not have sufficient hard disk space for the download files for Office 2000 SR-1. There are two files that make up the SR-1 download: Data1.msp and Data2.msp. To work around this issue you can try to recover some disk space by quitting programs that you do not require. For more information refer here.

    I'm sorry, but that doesn't apply in my case - I have gigabytes of free disk space on C drive

    JAMES_911, it would be helpful if you could read the previous posts on Page 1, particularly from Retired_tech & mbelsky. In a nutshell, the SR1a update doesn't work (contrary to Microsoft's belief), unless the SR1 update was previously applied, and copies of the SR1 update are no longer available from official sources. This is not a disk problem.
    Best regards

    Re: Office 2000 SR-1a update fails

    OK I'm fixed - success\at last.

    I googled "o2ksr1dl exe download" and found a page with three links to the SR-1 executable. Two were inaccessible, but the third (.ru) had the file, which I virus scanned, downloaded and successfully ran to upgrade to SR1. It did require my original installation disks. (Actually this file just self-extracts to a folder, and I then needed to manually kickoff the setup.exe file in that folder)
    Having reached SR-1, I could then upgrade to SP3 and the latest compatibility pack (which was my original need).

    Many thanks to all previous posters.

    Just to clarify, I have had the above linked SR1a update work for me WITHOUT installing SR1 first. The issue is that Microsoft accidentally deleted the offline version that does not need to DL additional components from Microsoft in order to work. These additional components were also accidentally deleted.

    Using any of the links above should work from a fresh Office 200 install.

    Issue explained here:

    and here:

    Whether the files where deleted "accidentally" or not is up to you to decide.
