Why am I getting Office 2007 updates?
« on: May 26, 2010, 02:39:18 PM »
Hi there everyone. For some reason I am getting office 2007 updates for my computer, which only has Office 2003 Small Business edition installed in it. What program do I have to remove to get these updates to stop?

Since Microsoft integrated Office Update & Windows Update into Microsoft Update, I get the the same thing from time to time.  Don't worry about it, let it perform the update.

Well, I don't exactly want to get updates for something I don't have :(

As long as Office still functions, why do you care?  Just because it says 2007, it could also be for 2003.

Windows 7 uses some components that are probably updated as part of Office 2007.

heh, never mind, you're using XP.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

Well, as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Also, neither in the title nor in the description does it mention anything about '03, so I would kind of doubt that it's directly intended for 2003. Perhaps it's chain-linked to some previous update that's made windows update think that I have 07 installed.

I wouldn't worry about those if it's definitely comin from microsoft windows update, unless you find that those are taking up significant amount of disk space, which i doubt it will.
