Microsoft offers a hotfix for Outlook 2000 to improve its compatibility with iCal/vCal 2.0 meeting requests. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823199 . Alternatively, have Outlook 2002/2003 senders avoid using reminders in the meeting requests they send to Outlook 2000 recipients.

does my friend need a service pack for this hotfix to install?

should he just install all that's available in office update?

Your friend needs to follow the instructions in the article and call Microsoft to get that hotfix.

Microsoft waives the call fee for hotfixes.
