Under certain circumstances, the Windows 2000 post-Service
Pack 1 (SP1) catalog file (Sp2.cat) that is included with Windows 2000 post-SP1
hotfixes may be incorrectly versioned. All Windows 2000 post-SP1 hotfixes that
had this problem have been repackaged to include an updated Sp2.cat
file.
If multiple Windows 2000 post-SP1 hotfixes are installed on
your computer and one hotfix has this Sp2.cat versioning issue, your computer
may be affected. Depending on the order in which the hotfixes were installed, a
newer hotfixed Sp2.cat file may be replaced by an older version.
This
problem occurs only with English-language hotfixes.
