    Just to add to my last post, a new machine that was freshly installed with
    Windows 2000 and upgraded to IE5.5SP2 will not install this patch.
    
    
    This is the batch file that I use to upgrade all packages to the latest
    version.
    
    @echo off
    rem Windows 2000 SP2
    w2ksp2srp1 -m -z
    q314147_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -m -z
    q300845_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -m -z
    q313829_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -m -z
    q311967_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -m -z
    
    rem IE 5.5 SP2
    vbs55nen.exe
    q321232.exe
    
    qchain.exe
    
    
    Of course, the IE patches don't have an equivalent "quiet" install option
    (ie -m -z). If you install them "quietly", the machine reboots leaving a
    dogs breakfast of an operating system when it boots, since qchain has not
    had a chance to run. So you have to do them manually, declining reboots as
    you go.
    
    With this method, I don't need a network connection to upgrade anything. I
    simply reboot after the "DOS box" closes.
