Office 2003 SP3 not complete

[kakii]

While updating my MS viewers 2003 (the Word/Excel one)
I had to state that the SP3, and therefore also Office 2003 SP3,
doesn't contain all updates issued till now.
I mean here following:
MS07-042, KB936227 (936960, 936048)
MS07-025, KB934873 (934180, 934062)
MS07-015, KB932554 (929064)
MS07-013, KB918118 (920813)
MS06-061, KB924191 (924424)
MS06-038, KB917151

Why is it so ?

Perhaps they have been superseded by other patches?

I have checked it. No, they don't have been.

 

[Eric A.]

Yes, they have been.

You may want to review the changes .doc for Sp3 which I have linked to
further down in my reply. Also you can check each of these updates to see
what files get replaced and check sp3 to see if it updates those files to a
version higher than the updates in question..

Here is what I found when I checked it.

MS07-042 has been superceded by.. Ms06-061

MS07-025 replaced Mso.dll to Version 11.0.8132.0.. Sp3 supercedes that patch
by replacing Mso.dll to version 11.0.8172.0

MS07-015 replaced Mso.dll to Version 11.0.8122.0 (which was superceded by
both Ms07-025 and Sp3). MS07-015 also replaced Ietag.dll to version
11.0.6550.0 which has been superceded by MS06-038 which also replaces
Ietag.dll to version 11.0.6550.

MS07-013 replaced riched20.dll to version 5.50.99.2014, this has been
superceded by Sp3, which includes Kb articles that Sp3 fixes in it's change
..doc located at
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...7-a4ae-b656001af4fb/office2003_sp3changes.exe.
The .doc says that sp3 supercedes 900459 which updates riched20 to
5.50.99.2012 (the same version and file as Ms07-13). Meaning that sp3
supercedes both

Ms06-061 is included in Sp3 as indicated on the sp3 website at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923618

MS06-038 is superceded by MS07-015 which (as shown above) is superceded by
Sp3.
