18674 2001-09-12 01:25:00 I have recently begun to upgrade my window 2000 Professional with the new service packs 1 and 2. I have also downloaded internet explorer 6 as well.
I want to keep a copy of the install files for these upgrades but can't figure out where the heck the files are stored too. I've searched my machine and found possible install files but can't make head nor tails of which is which.

HELP!!! :O

I really don't want to have to download these files again, (w2kpro-sp1 18-20 megs, w2ksp2 50-80megs and IE6 12-15 megs)if I have to do a re-install of windows.

Again....HELP!!!!

18675 2001-09-12 02:05:00 I downloaded IE6 a few days ago, and there was an option to 'just download' and save the files to a directory for installation later. Perhaps you could redownload that and select that option.

I have had no luck saving the service packs either. I had a problem when I downloaded a service pack for Office 2000, so I had to cancel, and then I couldn't restart it, I had to download the pack again (which I haven't done)

18676 2001-09-17 02:56:00 I wanted to do just that when I was downloading Office 2000 service packs. It wasn't easy to find but did a lot of folowing links and reading. They (Microsoft) called it a downloadable version and is for network administrators. Anyone can download it though.

Good luck
