Sequence of hotfixes for manual installation

I use win2000 sp4 , and intrested to install the hotfixes manually on computer
which is not connected to the internet .
Could someone please advice me the correct \right order of installation ,
from the first to the last ?
Thanx for your support .

The only order I would recommend is to install from 'oldest' to 'newest' by
date of the patch or hotfix. That keeps older files from overwriting newer
ones.

Thank you .
I thought may be Microsoft provided such guide or someone already
edited such list .
The subject looks a bit complicated ( or not ... )
Since some of the hotfixes replaces older ones , I guess it will require
in depth research to check up which is the updated one - thats not a big
problem .
But there is another problem may raise up .
i.e , hotfix "a" replaced by new hotfix "d" at a later date , but in the
meantime came out other hotfixes "b" , "c" which eventually has later
date than "a" but earlier to "d" date .
Since "d" is the replacement for "a" , should I install it first before
installing "b" and "c"
or I should stick only to the publication dates and install them in
the following order : "b" than "c" than "d" ?

Thanks for your support .

"Berber",

Essentially, you are doing the same thing as installing
online, only in an offline way. Thus, your second path is
the best way to go. That is:

There are 4 patches: a, b, c, and d.
- d is the same but later patch as a.
- b and c are independently different patches, which are
older than a, but younger than d.

You should install in date order: a, b, c, d.

Please do this and let us know how you did.

Sincerely,

Pat Walters [MSFT]
