Re: Getting the right W2K version

[Kari Eveli lexitec@xxxxxxxx]

Harry,

You have the right disk. There are four service packs and one "Update
Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4 (KB891861)". The latter is needed for
installing VMware tools (guest-host integration). All can be downloaded
from MS.


Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Network Install for IT Professionals
(contains all 4 SPs):

Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4 (needed for using VMware tools):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18997

Latest MS browser for W2K is a must:
Cumulative Update for Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (KB916281)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6624
