Where can I find the hotfixes that office 2003 uploaded after installing Service Pack 2?

I just installed a fresh Office 2003 with SP2 integrated and then used the Office Update site to find which patches were necessary.

i have a question regarding some of the .msi files

first of all i've already slipstreamed sp2 into office 2003. now i am attempting to slipstream all the remaining hotfixes aswell.

there are currently 8 new hotfixes and ive come across some odd ones. after extracting the hotfixes individually into their own folders (for organization) some of the hotfixes has multiple .msi files.

for example:

office2003-KB913807-FullFile-ENU contains OLKINTLff.msi and OUTLOOKff.msi

office2003-KB917151-FullFile-ENU contains MSO.msi and PVMSO.msi

should i install both .msi files or is there a particular one i should choose over the other?

thanks for your time.

I have the same exact question as you preelude, with specific reference to the KB917151 update. Does anyone know the answer to this?

Please help

install the updates silent without integrating them into the CD, because you are not able to use OfficeUpdate anymore. If you want to update your Office you have to build a new CD with all new pacthes integrated and update your office with this CD. This is circumstantially way of updating office

In KB913807, OUTLOOKff.msi is a new security patch. OLKINTLff.msi is the same security patch as in a previous KB (forget which number). Even though OLKINTff.msi is the same as a previous KB, it's included anyway so that you can completely get rid of the old patch.

To be certain, I'd recommend you apply both even though it's possible that you don't need to apply OLKINTLff.msi if you've already applied it before.

In KB917151, I have Office 2003 Std and PVMSO.msi was not applied, whereas MSO.msi was applied. My guess is that PVMSO.msi stands for Professional Version MS Office and MSO.msi stands for MS Office.

So short answer is, if you have Office 2003 Std, dump PVMSO.msi and just apply MSO.msi.

If you have Office 2003 Pro, try both and see what happens and report back to us so we all know. But my guess is if you have Office 2003 Pro, you'll only have to apply PVMSO.msi and will be able to dump MSO.msi. However, it's possible Office 2003 Pro users will have to apply PVMSO.msi and MSO.msi.

Hope that helps.

FYI, I just tried slipstreaming this update to a Professional version, and I did MSO.msi first, and then it wouldn't let me slipstream PVMSO.msi, so it probably doesn't need it. However, I didn't try PVMSO.msi first, so I will double check that; probably doesn't matter.

Edit: Nope, it wouldn't take PVMSO.msi, even if I try it before MSO.msi. FYI, I am using a Volume Licensing Version.

PVMSO.msi stands for "Project/Visio MSO", so its for Office Project 2003 and for Office Visio 2003.

MSO.msi is for all versions of the Office package, incl. Standard, Professional and the single application (Word, PowerPoint, ...) versions.

Shame on Microsoft for not documenting that (even on the newest security patch its not documented).
