   • It does not matter whether you update Windows or Office first.
   • If your version of Windows is already up-to-date, the Update Windows button is unavailable (dimmed). This is the case if you have Windows 2000 or Internet Explorer 5.01 (or a later version) already installed on your computer.
   • If you click Update Windows, the installer for Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 runs.
   • If you click Update Office, the SR-1 Update proceeds to determine which Office 2000 components you have installed on your computer and which files need to be updated.
