MS06-038 The update does not load on Word Viewer 2003

[kakii]

Hi

Only following viewers are installed on my machine:
Excel Viewer 2003
Word Viewer 2003
PowerPoint Viewer 2003

No other MS Office software is installed.
I did recently an attempt to install patches issued
with MS06-027, -037 and -038.
The patch 917346 for Word viewer (the root KB is 917336) installs without
any problems.
The patch 918425 for Excel viewer (the root KB is 917285) as well.
The same applies to 917151 for Excel viewer (the root KB is 917151).
The latter applies to the Word viewer 2003 as well.
However it does not want to install for word viewer.
It is visible only in the section of Excel viewer under Control Panel-Add
Remove Software, but not in the Word viewer section.
Installing the patch generates following error message:
"Security update for office 2003 (kb917151)
The expected version of the product was not found on your system."

What am I missing to consider installing the patches ?

One more detail:

The patches from MS06-027, -37 and -038
have been downloaded manually and saved on the hard disc.
Installing them is doing manually as well.

test-only message cause my browser crashes
on pushing the Post button without any error report.

Nobody really knows the reason ?

First message is unfortunately errorneous, sorry.

It should be
The same applies to 917151 for Excel viewer (the root KB is 917284)
instead of
The same applies to 917151 for Excel viewer (the root KB is 917151)

Secondly the statement
"The latter applies to the Word viewer 2003 as well"
has to be removed.

I can see now some discrepancy in the descriptions
of related security bulletins.

The table 'Affected Software and Download Locations for MS06-037 through
MS06-039' from 'Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for July, 2006'
does not enumerate the Word Viewer 2003 as the affected software.
Only the excel viewer 2003 is here named.
But Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-038 lists in the section
'Affected Software' the Word Viewer 2003 too.

What does actually apply to ?
The Summary for July or the security bulletin ms06-038 ?
If Word Viewer is indeed not affected, then no wonder
the patch 917151 does not install for it.
But on the other side why then the error message
"Security update for office 2003 (kb917151)
The expected version of the product was not found on your system."
during patch installation ?

I don't understand this.

Can somebody give a statement please ?
Thanks in advance.

Or formulated in other words:
Where can I place this thread to get an answer ?
