Windows Update on Vista is Wrong
I have Office 2003 on my Vista Home Premium. Yet Windows Update wants
to install SP1 for Office 2007. Won't that mess up my office apps? -- Don Gollahon

Windows Update on Vista is Wrong
Did you install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint 2007 File Formats? If yes, this is why you are being offered SP1. "Don Gollahon" wrote in message ... I have Office 2003 on my Vista Home Premium. Yet Windows Update wants to install SP1 for Office 2007. Won't that mess up my office apps? -- Don Gollahon

... I have Office 2003 on my Vista Home Premium. Yet Windows Update wants to install SP1 for Office 2007. Won't that mess up my office apps? Do you have the following folder on your hard drive? C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 ....\Office10 = Office 2002/XP stuff ....\Office11 = Office 2003 stuff ....\Office12 = Office 2007 stuff Maybe you installed components that are from Office 2007 (and work for Office 2003). My guess is that the update site is trying to update those Office 2007 components. I'm still using Office 2002 which means that I have the ...\Office10 folder. However, I also have an ...\Office12 folder. Looks like it has some converter tools under there from Office 2007 (or the components are announcing themself as that version of Office but work under prior versions).

Just wanted to make sure things were ok before I told it to install. Thanks to both of you. -- Don Gollahon
