Hello Chris,

there is no entry in the eventlogs from WPKG and Office 2000 is not 
installed by WPKG - there are only a few PCs
which have it and there it is installed by hand.
But the bad thing is that on these PCs, each installation or update of a 
MSI package executed by WPKG triggers Office 2000 to be updated.
