Incorrect Office Updates in Microsoft Update
Hello
I recently did clean installs of XP and Win7 on 2 different PCs. Each PC was loaded with Office 2007. When I ran Microsoft Update after the Office installs, it shows I needed Office 2007 SP1, not SP2. I manually downloaded and installed Office 2007 SP2 and then checked Windows Updates for any needed patches. It still showed I needed Office 2007 SP1...even though I just installed SP2. Does anyone know how to 1) have Office SP2 show up as a needed update instead of SP1, and 2) how to configure Windows Update to show that no SP is needed after SP2 is installed? thx -Mike |

Perhaps the update process was corrupted. However, you could try to uninstall the SP2 and then re-install (or some say install again) to see if this fixes the problem. If it doesn't, then you need to clear the SoftwareDistribution folder on C:\ Windows folder but first try doing uninstall and re-install. hth Mike D. wrote: Hello I recently did clean installs of XP and Win7 on 2 different PCs.

Does anyone know how to 1) have Office SP2 show up as a needed update instead of SP1, and 2) how to configure Windows Update to show that no SP is needed after SP2 is installed? Pay no attention to the fellows wrestling in the mud down below the bridge there. Pay no attention to me, if you like. MS, though, has this to say about it: "Because Office service packs are cumulative, you do not have to install Service Pack 1 before you install Service Pack 2. Service Pack 2 includes all of the fixes that were included in Service Pack 1." Quoted from this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=953195 |

Can't help you on that one; I tend to let Windows Updates recommend whatever it likes (and ignore it while I go and do whatever I feel I really *need*). What happens if you download the Office SP2 update and apply it "manuallY" rather than letting Windows Update handle things? "Steve Rindsberg" wrote in message ...

If you manually apply Office SP2, Windows Updates still reports SP1 needs to
be installed. It doesn't make any sense... "Steve Rindsberg" wrote in message ... In article , Mike D. wrote: Agreed....which is why I don't know why Windows Updates thinks I need Office 2007 Sp1...
