Default ?? Why am I Asked to Install Office Update ??

Hi everyone,

This has been annoying me for several months now.

I have a Vista 64 machine. Office 2007 is *NOT* installed on this machine
yet Microsoft Update constantly tells me I have two available updates:

2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Update for the Microsoft 2007 Office System (KB946691)

Why am I constantly prodded to install updates for products I do not have
installed?

Do you have the trial version? Was Office ever installed? Any of the
components?

No, nothing. No trial version. It was a fresh install of Vista 64 and Office
2007 has never touched this machine.

Are you using the Office 2007 compatibility pack?

Default ?? Why am I Asked to Install Office Update ??

Why am I asked to install Office 2007,during the trial period, each time I
want to use it?
--
I couldn't figure out how to start my own thread and the previous question
brought me here....so, again I ask......
"Why am I asked to install Office 2007,during the trial period, each time I
want to use it?"

????????Is this a mistake on Microsoft's part?????? What a burden I must
barefor ta freebie!!!!

I wanted to try and maybe buy this product but it will take up too much of
my time to Install this everytime I wanty to use it.

If there isn't another way to try this without the installs each time, I
will not be considering this for my business.

Any comments?!
Have an awesome day!

No, I am not using the compatibility pack.

No version of Office has *ever* been on this machine. I built this machine
fresh form a Vista 64 install. Neither Office 97, 2000, XP, 2003 or 2007 has
*ever* touched this machine. No versions of ANY of these products have been
installed ever.

Having said that, I am in communication with a Microsoft support rep who
recommended I look for the following two registry keys and delete them if
they are present. Strangely, I did have these registry keys:

HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Office
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Office

I'm not sure why these keys were present but I deleted them. It did not fix
the problem. I am still prompted to install the two Office 2007 updates on a
machine that has never had a version of Office on it.

Tom Baxter's question keeps getting repeated with no new resposes. That's not
very helpful. His question was placed after my question, which makes no sense
at all.
I will be leaving this discussion group since it is a continuation of
Microsoft's Office Trial wasting my time.

I have fixed my problem by uninstalled my trial to Microsoft Office 2008.
YEA!! A resolution that works!!!!!!!!!

What software *have* you installed?

Hmmm. I wonder if Vista itself contains some part of Office, perhaps in order
to provide the ability to read Office 2007 documents?
