Definitely a glitch. On this link -
http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us - I was
just informed I needed to install Office 2003 SP2. I had already installed
this on 28 Sep, as confirmed when I clicked on "Review your update history"
on the same link (where Office 2003 SP2 is listed with a green "succeeded"
tick). It's also confirmed when I go to Control Panel/Add or Remove
Programs (check "Show Updates"), where Office 2003 SP2 is listed as one of
the installed components.
What triggered this nonsense is when I installed "Update for Outlook 2003
Junk Email Filter (KB906173)" yesterday. I've always used this link to
update my Windows XP-Pro/Office 2003 Pro. I've checked microsoftupdate a
couple of times between 28 Sep & yesterday, and it never mentioned Office
2003 SP2 update until today! How can it list Office 2003 SP2 as being
successfully installed (in update history) as well as tell me it's a
critical update?
Under Help/About, each of my Office 2003 software components (Excel, Word,
etc.) has SP2 on the first line.
What now?
