Setup has detected that the build version of the system installed does not match the update you are applying to it.

WORKAROUND
To work around this issue:
- Run the hotfix installer (Qxxxxxx_eng_i386.exe) with the -x switch to extract the files.
- When you are prompted to do so, type the location to which you want to extract the files.
- Locate the file named Update.inf in the Update subfolder of the folder to which you extracted the files.
- Double-click Update.inf, and then locate the following line:
MaxExchVersionToUpdate=4417
- Change the line to read:
MaxExchVersionToUpdate=4629
- Save the change, and then run Update.exe from the Update subfolder.
MORE INFORMATION
The hotfix installer has been updated so that any hotfixes that are created after September 25, 2002 install properly on Small Business Server 2000 and BackOffice Server 2000.
