Right--but: I believe you are talking about a mix of update files and
original installation files.

You cannot burn the data1 or installation files to CD successfully, as far
as I'm aware. If you want to burn the update files to CD, use the full file
patch downloads which are less likely to require you to provide the original
installation media (such as data1.msi). But you will need to provide
original CDs or original installation media that was used to install the
software, if the update requires it. The copying of installation files
doesn't work.

There is no reason I'm aware of that o2ksr1adl.exe would not burn to a CD.
Are you using the download manager, or are you extracting the file after
download? What happens if you try one at a time? Have you tried the
technique on a different system?

See if these articles provide more information about the requirement for
original installation media:

When you update office 2000, these are the files the installer d/ls and
updates the office system.
I want to burn them to CD and use to update other machines.
But they report the error messages I posted when I try and putr them to CD

Hi, ias,

No. You should provide the original CDs when prompted to insert a CD for
updating Office.
