[KB838018 FP2000 Server Extensions hotfix for Win2000]

I just registered today for two reasons - I felt bad about using the USP5.1 without having a way to thank Gurgelmeyer (thanks a lot! ) and secondly, I was following this topic on 838018 - and checked the usual places to see if this fix could be downloaded somewhere. While I didn't find a download as such, I did hit upon the list of fixes in Windows XP SP2 -

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...%5BLN%5D;811113

Reason for this coming up in Google was that it included, wait for it,

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=838018

The article listed an install of Office 2000 SP3 as requirement for this fix, and it listed the files that

would be installed:

I went into my Windows XP installation and confirmed that the first two files were present, and of the version listed.

The question I have now is - would we be able to use the files from Windows XP SP2 for the hotfix ? I think the technical answer is yes, but I am unsure about the legal aspect. I know that we're not supposed to use WXP SP2 files if we do not own a copy of XP, but, as we do own a copy of Win2000, are we allowed to take the hotfixes from wherever we can get them ?

Thanks again, regards, w2kfan
