Ignore my previous post about extracting the Data.cab and puting the files in the NT directory manually...you should not have to do that! Someone with W2K Final plz try out the new method on the previous post!

Hmm I can't under stand why you all are having so must problem I install it but I got raid of it. I think buildin Disk Defragmenter is better.
SHS, You can't be serious. The defragmenter that comes with NT5 is a limited version of Executive's Software's Diskeeper. This update updates NT's minimal version to the full blown version. That's like saying that the defragmenter that comes with 95 is better than Norton Speedisk. (95 defragmenter is a minimal version of speedisk....heck it's so slow it seems like symantec slowed it down on purpose )
OP
I'll send it to shrink as soon as he is online, tested the newer update on my computer (with the earlier patch already on) and it happily uninstalled it and applied the new one so it doesn't see tha I have cheated before
So is that all you had to do Fargo? Run Update.MSI and then Diskeeperworkstation.MSI and it installed right? Just want to get it straight so when people ask again. (and you know they will ) Yeppeee!! We finally got it working on the final version of W2K! and it's not illegal!

Running final build yep.
I just tried running update and diskeeperworkstation at the same time to see what would happen hehe, nothing did.. If this is'nt illegal maybe someone can post this file of fargo's somewhere?

Still no luck here
running 2195 server, and when I run update.msi, I get an error saying I need diskkeeper installed to usse this upgrade.
if I run DiskeeperServer.Msi, it says that I need to run update to install..
it would be nice to get this working

He he - Fargo sent me the update and it worked perfectly in the final of win2k. I am at work right now but will send it out to those interested. Please don't post - "send it to me - send it to me" - instead I will post a site where it can be downloaded. If it is not kosher to post the site here, someone let me know where you want me to post the url. Later!

Okay everyone, here's the file:
"Shrink you know better then this"
It works like a charm and the instructions are in the zip.
Thanks to Fargo!

With respect to why the link got pulled, it appears that the powers that govern the board ruled that a link to an update distributed by someone other than the software distributor, and from a location other than their ftp or website, was considered warez. From now on, if we have links to post, let's do it on chameleon's forum and just post here that the information will be there so as to not pi** off the landlords <g>.
BTW, you're welcome <g>.
