Hi.

Executing the office2k.bat script to an Brazilian Portuguese installation I found a problem:

In the SP3 section:

:: Office 2000 Update: Service Pack 3 (SP3)
:: <http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=326585>
:: 
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5C011C70-47D0-4306-9FA4-8E92D36332FE>
:: 
URL|ARA|http://download.microsoft.com/download/office2000/SP/3/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/O2kSp3.exe|updates/office2k/ara/o2ksp3.exe
:: 
URL|CSY|http://download.microsoft.com/download/office2000/SP/3/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/O2kSp3.exe|updates/office2k/csy/o2ksp3.exe
...

All updates points to a EN-US file, that doesn't install in another languages.
In example PT-BR has it's own file:
:: 
URL|PTB|http://download.microsoft.com/download/office2000/SP/3/WIN98MeXP/PT-BR/O2kSp3.exe
 
<http://download.microsoft.com/download/office2000/SP/3/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/O2kSp3.exe>|updates/office2k/ptb/o2ksp3.exe


As a suggestion too, there are many other "features" that can be removed from the Office installation. Example for REMOVE parameter of the first msiexec:

REMOVE=...
ASSISTANTFiles: Removes that anoying assistant from the Ms Office.
OSBShortCutFiles: Removes the links bar.
OUTLOOKFiles: Removes the Ms Outlook 2000 (For those who use only Outlook 
Express).


Removing aditional components makes another fixes not necessary or necessary to add REMOVE parameters to them too.

Example:

Removing Outlook, makes the remove of these "features" necessary to SR-1a.
OutLookHelpFiles_SR1Patch, OutLookMessaging_SR1Patch, OutLookNoOpen_SR1Patch
And removing Outlook, makes these updates not necessary:
:: Install View Control Security Update
:: Outlook 2000 Update: December 18, 2002
