Publisher Updates When Publisher Is Not Installed?
I recently performed a clean install of Microsoft Office Small Business 2002 on Windows XP. I performed a custom install, where I picked and chose what components to install. I did not install Publisher and support for Sharepoint services.
Afterwards, I went to Microsoft Update. Here I was offered updates for all my Office programs. I was also offered updates for Publisher and Sharepoint services, neither of which I installed. I was even offered an update for Microsoft Access, which isn't even included in my version of Office! Why am I being offered updates for programs I did not install and which are not even part of my version of Office? Do I need to install these updates, and if so, why? Thanks for your advice. Daddy |

Your computer will know what to install.

Publisher Updates When Publisher Is Not Installed?
That's a matter of opinion. ;-)
Many of us have had first-hand experience with Microsoft's "don't bother me, I know what's best for you" posture. However, seeing as I have no choice in this situation, the updates are installed.
