Micosoft Office XP SP2
- Thread starter FortiTude
- Start date
First download sp1 (admin) and sp2 (admin).
There seems to be a little confusion as to whether sp2 is cumulative or not,
so the best way to go is first slipstream sp1 then sp2.
Instructions is as follows.
To make an admin install point, put ur office cd (clean, without sp1 slipstreamed) in ur cd drive & run the following command
x:\setup.exe /a (where x is ur cd drive)
Follow the instructions (install in c
ffice for convenience and ease concerning the following commands)
Extract sp1 to cffice
To update office, run the command.
msiexec /p c:\office\MAINSP1_Admin.msp /a c:\office\proplus.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L* c:\office\sp1Log.log
When its done run this command to update ur webcomponents.
msiexec /p c:\office\OWC10SP1_Admin.msp /a c:\office
\owc10.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L* c:\office\owc10.log
Extract sp2 to cffice
Run the command
msiexec /p c:\office\MAINSP2ff.msp /a c:\office\proplus.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L* c:\office\sp2Log.log
Again, to update office
To update ur webcomponents, run the command.
msiexec /p c:\office\MAINSP2ff.msp /a c:\office\proplus.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L* c:\office\sp2Log.log
To update an already installed version.
msiexec /i c:\office\proplus.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus (office)
msiexec /i c:\office\owc10.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus (webcomponents)
If no preinstallation just run setup exe.
Ur done.
If u like u can delete the service pack files, and of course burn ur slipstreamed admin install to cd. Just remember to keep ur "original" cd, for later slipstreaming etc.
Hope I haven’t missed anything.
Good luck

I have a version of OfficeXP on a CD burnt from an ISO that has already SP1 installed and doesn't ask for a serial. When i install SP1, it says the update isn't needed (obvious, but it's better to check) but when i install SP2 it gives me an error "incorrect file" or something like that. Is it due to the key (that i don't even know) or what? what do you reccon i should do.
XP Retail Professional
I have the retail version of XP - the one that requires a Serial and Activation - I'm sure most of you haven't ever seen that one before and use a "cheaper" version found on the net
To get round the Activation I used the Universal Activator.
I installed SP2 Admin no problem but the f*cking thing wanted me to reactivate - luckily I'd kept a copy of the MSO.DLL file and that solved the issue
If you use the same version as me - make sure you keep a copy of MSO.DLL before you apply the patch or you won't bve able to reactivate it.
I'm not going to even bother tryign to slipstream my CD - too many headaches

I, too, have the "upgradable" Office XP Pro. I installed SP1 a while ago and all is OK. So, I tried to upgrade to SP2 and it too is OK.
So, my question is...will this stop working? I used the key most others have for an ISO called Office XP Pro with FrontPage, and it required NO activation. SP1 installed fine a few months ago and SP2 went on fine. Perhaps they will then not let me get SP3?
TIA...just trying to figure out what all the discussion is about...what am I missing here?

Office XP SP2 Slipstreamer v.2
hi, m8s
look like this can be useful to us ....
"Office XP SP2 Slipstreamer v.2
This program will slipstream Office XP and SP2 together if you dont want to have to install SP2 seperately. It will also save you having to re-enter your CD KEY each time you install.
You will need an Office XP CD to use this or the setup files on HD. You CANNOT use a slipstreamed Office SP1 CD.
Read more..
The administrative version of Office XP SP2 update is needed. Click the link on the program to download it.
A new folder will be created from where you can install Office XP and SP2 together or you can burn a CD from it.
Run the program and it will guide you through the whole process.
Note : NOTE: If you get an error about a missing COMDLG32.OCX file, run the 'runonce.bat' to fix it."

ive, slipstreaming is necessary due to a bug in ms office xp, which prevents some people from updating their office installs, even if they got a legal serial. originally, however, admin installs were intended for administrators, who have to install the programme in big firms. nobody has enough time to activate and update every single installation on thousands of computers. therefore, corporate editions of office were released, which don't require activation, and that's also the reason why slipstreaming exists. all that the admin has to do now is to install the programme. no activation or updates are necessary
i have just used CSKs proggie that he posted. works great!
ok, i checked the entire thread to be sure. how does one burn the files to a cdr? i mean, anything special i have to do? it looks like the autorun.inf will allow it to autorun just fine on a data cdr. am i wrong?!
thanks for the prog CSK and advice from everybody! very nice thread.
have a blessed day
