Where is the Office 2000 SR-1 administrator updates (O2KSR1aDL.exe)?

The Office 2000 SR-1 administrator updates (O2KSR1aDL.exe) is no longer available on the Microsoft Download Center.  This is because Office 2000 extended support expired July 2009:

There are some places where you can find it:

The problem is that the file is localized. I'm looking for the Dutch version. Anyone?

Just because it's not supported is no reason to not still have it available. The fact that the SR1A package is available but does not download its components correctly makes this very frustrating. Why would MS still make SP2 and SP3 available, but not keep SP1 working? I don't think it's a huge expense for MS to keep this file available for download.

I worked for MS as a temp for a while, and have positive memories of my co-workers and of how I was well-treated while I was there. I think people bash MS too readily, and that they underestimate how much better things are than they used to be (I well remember how my best friend and I had different computers, a Radio Shack Color Computer and a TI-994A, and sharing info between them was virtually impossible). MS has made the world a better place, and they have my respect. But there is no good reason to be a poor corporate citizen on this and eliminate a critical update from being downloaded just because it's no longer supported.

Put this file back up for download, Microsoft! There's no good reason not to!

In response to Richard Adams - Should the files still be available from the Microsoft Download Center?  Yes they should. The only reason and the critical one that those files are not available anymore on the download center is because we don't have them.  There was an issue with how these specific files were tagged and stored.  The result is that they were set to expire July 2009 and were apparently auto-purged.   Office files for Office 2003 and later versions are stored very differently so this shouldn't ever be an issue for those files.

Apologies again for the inconvenience!  Please do check out community newsgroups to see if someone can hook you up with the files you need.
