Note that the ValuPack folder on these CDs also includes folders for other ValuPack components that have not been updated. These ValuPack components will work with the programs included in Microsoft Office 97 SR-2.
The updated ValuPack components may be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site at the following address:
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/9798/off97vpk.aspx

If you download "Office 97 Service Release 2 ValuPack", you receive a single program, Off97vpk.exe. When you run this program, all of the components listed in this article, except for the 16-bit Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer, are extracted into a folder on your hard disk. You can then install each component by double-clicking its program.

Note that you can install ValuPack components that have not been updated from your Microsoft Office 97 or Microsoft Office 97 SR-1 CD.
