Office 2003 update page needs Office 2000 SR-1a, why?

M

MrBill

I recently upgraded Office '97 on my 2 home PC's to Office 2003. When
clicking on the MS Office update page:

http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/maincatalog.aspx?lc=en-us

It tells me that 3 Office 2003 updates are needed on one PC, which is
correct, and 3 Office 2003 updates PLUS the Office 2000 SR-1a, which
is wrong! Additionally, it is showing 3 other Office 2000 updates,
but grayed out - which I assume will be available once SR-1a is
installed. Of course I didn't apply the bogus updates, but why is the
update page telling me to update my Office 2003 with Office 2000
files, and what can I do to get the update page to see my copy of
Office correctly?

More information: Both systems run WinXP Home, neither system has
ever had any part of Office 2000 installed. The system with the
problem has only Word and Excel installed, no PowerPoint or Outlook.
The system with no problems has only Word installed, nothing else.

Thanks, Bill

I think I figured out what is going on - I have FP 2000 on the system
that is asking for Office 2000 updates. So this leads me to another
question, would downloading these updates enhance my copy of FP2000
without messing up my Office 2003 install?

TIA, Bill

Installing the updates for FP 2000 will not mess up your Office 2003. Note:
Office 2000 applications and Office 2003 applications are installed in
different folders.

Hi Don, Thanks to your post I went ahead and made all the Office 2000
updates. FP2000 looks a little different but is functionally the
same. Office 2003 was not affected!
