office service pack 3 update error

[wainvestor]

I have just loaded my new Office Professional Edition 2003 on my machine.
After install I went to the office update section and ran Service pack 2,
that updated fine. Then I ran the Service Pack 3 update and it stops during
install saying I need the disk for Office Professional XP with FrontPage to
continue? I don't have FrontPage on my machine, or any Office Pro XP with
FrontPage disks, any ideas how to get Service Pack 3?

Are you saying that you have =never= had Office XP Professional with
Frontpage installed on this system?

If not... then you don't need Service Pack 3.

But the fact that Office Updates wants you to install Office XP Service Pack
3 does suggest that some component(s) of Office XP are installed on your
machine.

The most likely sequence of events is upgrading an Office XP Professional
with Frontpage installation to Office Professional Edition 2003. The Office
Pro Ed 2003 does not include Frontpage, which would leave Frontpage 2002
installed on the system, and thus trigger a requirement to apply Office XP
SP3.
