I'm sure they are aware, but this is the easiest way for them to deploy BOL.

Ok, installed on WinXP PC fine, my "old" PC (don't ask - pre anything you probably have) gives me "... You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer service.", so I thought, let's just get the file from the XP box... well looking in Program Files....\tools\books the only "new" files are small "sql80.col" - 12K, "hh.dat" - 4k. (serious compression huh). Anyway does anyone know THE real file SQL2K BOL is in?
Thanks

Prior to Frank's post I downloaded sqlbolsetup.cab (SQL2K (SP3) BOL). The cab contains setup plus msi's for the Windows Installer and one msi for BOL. It installed to the default location
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Books Online\1033
and it is not one file but many and they are dated 2002.
I'm going to check if Frank's url is a later version

Dave,
when you start BOL and click on the ©1988-2004 Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved. at thebottom of the start page, which Version number do you see there?
©1988-2004 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
...
Mine is Version: 8.00.002
Might be MS only changed the copyright to 2004

Sorry, actually don't try the link above. Copy and paste seems to be harder than I thought

Just took a look at the directory. There should be a lot of files modified on 11/21/2003.

Thanks
I'll go ahead and serch the whole C:\Program Files..... for the DateTime, but I do not have a "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Books Online" dir. Got VS6, VS.NET, VS.NET 2003.... and more MS stuff on my XP box, maybe because they "share" the whole BOL stuff, it's in one of those dir's ???

Have a look at the properties for the shortcut (if there is one) on the programs menu, it should tell you where the files are.

Shortcut just points to that 12KB "SQL80.COL" file in ...\80\tools\books dir

The Start In dir contains
