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

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

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

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.
