I have installed Ts2k SP4c (the download version from Omega website) on
Win2k repeatedly with no problems whatsoever. I have never been able to get
SP4c on CD from Omega in spite of many requests by email and phone. They
just dont send it.
I performed clean installs and have no idea whether you could install over
existing setups. By clean install I mean format hard drive using the Win2k
install program, install Win2k in its own formatted partition, install Ts2k
SP3 from CD in its own formatted partition, install Ts2k SP4c upgrade over
the SP3 installation. Then I imported data from Hbank CD and filled in
missing data from Hbank website. I also recreated all workspaces and then
began collecting RT quotes from DTN. I did not try to reuse any old data.
Past attempts to use old data or workspaces have caused me problems.
This setup ran perfectly and has never crashed. Was using DTN sat, I now
use EOD only.

.. I had all kinds of problems and finally got it to work this way:
1) Load original Platinum Edition of TS2000
2) Load (from a CD only) the SP4C update .
they will mail you the update on a CD for nothing .. I tried to run SP4C
from a download and it never worked .. now (so far) I have no problems
