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.

SP1 is needed to have SP install correctly

RUBBISH. SP1 is already included in SP2. Please refrain from

misinforming Microsoft Customers. This is not a s e x industry you are

accustomed to.
 
That should read as to have SP2 install correctly

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:

Agreed....which is why I don't know why Windows Updates thinks I need Office

2007 Sp1...

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?

If you manually apply Office SP2, Windows Updates still reports SP1 needs to

be installed. It doesn't make any sense...

Personally I let MSUpdate do its own thing for critical updates

It doesn't. Simplest thing might be to go ahead and apply SP1 then SP2 in

order. See if making it happy makes it happy.
