Overview

Office XP Update: Service Pack 2 (SP2) provides the latest updates to Microsoft Office XP. Office XP SP2 contains significant security enhancements, as well as stability and performance improvements. Some of the fixes included with SP2 have been previously released as separate updates. This service pack combines them into one update.


Microsoft recommends that users install the Office XP SP2 update using the Office Product Updates site. This site will detect your Office installation, prompt you to install exactly what you need to be fully updated, and can minimize the time required to download this update.


Office XP SP2 addresses the issues described in the following Microsoft Security Bulletins:


This service pack also includes all updates released since Office XP Service Pack 1 (SP1):


Office XP SP2 will install successfully even if one or more of the publicly available updates listed above has already been installed on your computer.


Office XP SP2 also includes stability improvements developed as a result of user input from the Error Reporting Tool in Office XP and from Microsoft Product Support feedback.


Important Any public updates released after Office XP SP2 will require the installation of SP2.


Office XP SP2 applies to the following Office XP suites and programs:
  • Microsoft Office XP Professional
  • Microsoft Office XP Professional with Microsoft FrontPage®
  • Microsoft Office XP Standard
  • Microsoft Office XP Standard for Students and Teachers
  • Microsoft Office XP Small Business edition

  • Microsoft Outlook® 2002
  • Microsoft PowerPoint® 2002

If you are running Microsoft Windows® 2000, installing Office XP SP2 may require a reboot of your machine. This reboot may be prevented by upgrading to Windows Installer 2.0.


To ensure the integrity of your Microsoft Office installation, the Windows Installer may require access to your installation media or network installation location before applying any product updates. This is a technical requirement of Windows Installer-based software patching and is not intended to be an anti-piracy measure. For more information, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article (Q268800): FIX: Windows Installer Must Have Original Source Files When You Apply a Patch.
