Install the Rollup.
Go back to Windows Update and install what it tells you.

The machine in question is not on the Internet so visiting WU wouldn't be feasible. See OP's post below.

I am trying to install Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional on a
machine. Till now, I have installed the operating system itself and
then downloaded and installed SP4.

Now I need to install post SP4 hotfixes and Update Rollup 1 v2 (?):
After some search I got the following link for post SP4 hotfixes:

http://support.microsoft.com/common/canned.aspx?R=d&H=Microsoft+Windows+2000+Post-SP4+Fixes&LL=&Sz=kbWin2000preSP5fix&Fr=&DU=&SD=GN&LN=EN-US&CND=1&VR=&CAT=&VRL=&SG=&MaxResults=250
and then following link for update rollup 1

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891861/
Can somebody please tell me if I would need to install all post SP4
hotfixes even if I install Update Rollup 1?

If no, where can I get the list of post UpdateRollup1 hotfixes?

Moreover, in the list of hotfixes, I think not all are applicable to
Windows 2000 Professional Edition. Some are for Servers alone. Is there
a list that gives hotfixes for only Windows 2000 professional edition.

Please note that the machine that I am installing on is not on the
Internet. I have to download and install hotfixes, etc. on a separate
machine and then take them to the other machine.

Many thanks in advance.
