KB 907417 & 908002

[David Thielen]

Hi;

Just to confirm, if I have run the latest windows update and it shows no
updates for Word, then the fixes in KB907417 should be on my machine -
correct?

I have never run the fix in KB907417 and on my dev machine it has version
7.10.5077.0 but my test system, which shows no pending office updates, has
7.10.3191.0. So it looks like I do have to install it.

Do we run this same update for Word 2002 and Word 2000? Or is there a
different update in their cases?

And for our customers, I assume we have to point them at this fix? Or will
it be included in the Windows update soon? Or can we include it in our
install? Does it just update this one dll?

For KB908002, this is added to the setup program. However, we use WIX (the
official Microsoft installer) for our setup. How do we add this to our setup,
and what does it do?

thanks - dave

Windows Update and Office Update are two entirely different things. Office
service packs are always for a specific version.

Yes, but Windows update will now list office updates also - it's been doing
this for about 6 months.
