I have been installing Office 2000 from our network for months. I first install Disk 1 (Professional with SR1) then Disk 2 and last SP2. On new WIN2K and WINXP installs, I am getting the following error with SP2:

Error 1328. Error applying patch to file C:\Config.msi\PT181.tmp. It has probably been updated by other means, and can no longer be modified by this patch. For more information contact your patch vendor.

I have checked TechNet and although there are references to this error, nonefit my situation.

Any ideas?

Have you tried deleting the pt181.tmp file after the first install? Everything I see refers to this error after SP1.

So, I'd try deleting all temp files after installing CD 1 & 2 and/or rebooting and having the registry be re-read into memory before proceeding with the Service Pack 2 install.

Actually on thinking about this, because it is a temporary file, it's probably removed automatically after Office 2000 (SP1) is installed. The SP2 install cannot find the file because it no longer exists.

Reboot before the install of SP2.

I have tried these suggestions but nothing has been successful. There is no config.msi on any computer I've checked.I have rebooted in between Office and SP2 no success. I have just found that SP3 is on the Internet so I am trying an install now using that.

I read the article but none of the log files it references are available. I am not doing an administrative install. The one section Error Numbers, actually has the exact message I am getting with a different tmp file, but none of the suggestions offered there help either. I suspect it may be the either WINXP, WIN2K or IE6 updates is causing the problem.

I downloaded SP3 for Office 2000 and used it. The error messages have gone away. Thanks for trying.
