Howto: SP1 -> SP2 -> Office XP Pro
Just to save you from the trouble:
This is how you slipstream SP1 and SP2 into Office XP Pro
(The instructions are only tested with the US version of XP Pro
be sure to download the correct version of the SPs and not
the ones provided in the links if you try to apply the patch to a different version)
You will need to apply SP1 before applying SP2
First of all you need to download these files:
oxpsp1a.exe (NOT oxpsp1.exe) from here :
Service Pack 1
and oxpsp2a.exe (NOT oxpsp2.exe) from here :
Service Pack 2
Then:
You first need to create an administrative installation so:
* insert Office XP in your cd-rom drive
* execute from the command prompt of your CD-ROM "setup /a"
* enter organization & CD-Key & location (C:\Office)
* install (don't worry it won't overwrite your current installation)
Next Step:
*Extract the oxpsp1a.exe to C:\OXPSP1
*Extract the oxpsp2a.exe to C:\OXPSP2
Patch with SP1 part 1:
*Type in the command prompt:
"msiexec /p C:\OXPSP1\MAINSP1_Admin.msp /a C:\Office\proplus.msi"
*Don't change details!
*install
Patch with SP1 part2:
*Type in the command prompt:
"msiexec /p C:\OXPSP1\OWC10SP1_Admin.msp /a C:\Office\owc10.msi"
*Don't change details!
*install
Patch with SP2 part 1:
*Type in the command prompt:
"msiexec /p C:\OXPSP2\MAINSP2ff.msp /a C:\Office\proplus.msi"
*Don't change details!
*install
Patch with SP2 part2:
*Type in the command prompt:
"msiexec /p C:\OXPSP2\OWC10SP2ff.msp /a C:\Office\owc10.msi"
*Don't change details!
*install
When done burn the contents of C:\Office to a CD-Rom
Bear in mind that when using your new CD you cannot change the Product Key,it will use the one you entered during the patch.
To correct/avoid errors, try to do it first on a CD-RW.
Good Luck
