I think that is nearly right.
I think something is causing Microsoft Access 2000 SR-1 dialog box to pop
up (which has no URL).
That "something" is not the Microsoft Access 2000 SR-1 dialog box.

I will get a sample URL. Sorry about that.

Dont think so.
Microsoft Access 2000 SR-1 predates the Windows Installer.

That isn't true and doesn't make sense. In fact, it is very common when the
Windows Installer gets mixed up that you will get constant popups asking
for an Office CD. So if I were you, I'd be trying the Installer fix. But
your choice.

That is true and does make sense.
Windows Installer relies on a put together MSI package file.
Office 2000, Service Release 1a was an executable that did not rely on the
Windows Installer, it has it is own builtin installer.
o2ksr1a.exe:
MD5 Checksum: 548E82A5054BE4331F5F7BB45DE2C27A

For the period 1992 up to the point when Windows Installer was a reality,
how do you think Microsoft installed its own software? Versions of VB,
Visual C++, Office, other Microsoft software had their own installers. It
wasnt packages with MSI extensions.
I have Office 1995 somewhere. The installer on that did not use the Windows
Installer.
You seem to think that Windows Installer has been around since Windows 3.0
or when Win32 became standard. It has not.
Prior to its release, Microsoft used it own internal installers and everyone
else used Wyse, InstallShield etc.

DLL hell is all because Microsoft should have released Windows Installer
with Windows 3.0 and did not do so.
So everybody else constructed homebrew installers which was not satisfactory
as no one knew what the Microsoft rules for DLL installation was (roughly:
install system DLLs in the System32 direction using VerInstall API and
application specific DLLs in same directory as application EXE). Apple
Macintosh's had had a standard installer for a long time.

Anyway I appreciate your help and efforts.

Cheers
