Why I Hate Microsoft

I am testing a product that our company might use and resell to our clients.
It uses MS SQLServer. I downloaded the evaluation of SQLServer from Microsoft, and now I am trying to figure out what version of Service Pack 3 I need to install - aieeeeee!!!!
Microsoft says:

Users who have an existing instance of MSDE 2000 must know how their instance of MSDE 2000 was installed to know how to update it. In particular, you must know the original package name for your instance of MSDE 2000. To determine the original package name, see the article How To Identify Which MSI File Was Used for an Existing MSDE Installation in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

I followed their directions and I cannot find it anywhere. This is so typically Microsoft!!!
