b.) Downloaded Office 2000 SR-1a & SP2 Admin & SP3 Admin
c.) Slipstreamed SR-1a
d.) Slipstreamed SP2
e.) Slipstreamed SP3
f.) Ran install on client PC "[Admin Path]\Setup.exe
g.) Checked MS Office Update Site to see what still needed to be updated
h.) SP3 was not installed, but was also not available to download from there. Stated that due to previously installed Administrative updates, SP3 Administrative update need to be installed.
Attempt #2 - Install Only Updated Office 2000 Suite
a.) Created Administrative install point
b.) Downloaded Office 2000 SR-1a & SP2 Admin & SP3 Admin
c.) Slipstreamed SR-1a
d.) Slipstreamed SP2

g.) Checked MS Office Update Site to see what still needed to be updated
h.) SP3 was not installed, but was also not available to download from there. Stated that due to previously installed Administrative updates, SP3 Administrative update need to be installed.
Attempt #3 - Install Only Office Suite & Windows Installer

Now, that is what I downloaded and slipstreamed.

I would ignore the MS site, and just see if SP3 shows up in the About info of Office.
I hope this helps !
