Why do I get Office 2003 updates for my Office 2000?

[Post Lake Guy]

Why do I get "Update for Microsoft Office 2003 (KB949074)" when I update my
Office 2000 Professional suite? I tried installing it; but, as expected, it
won't install.

 

[Peter Foldes]

Probably because you have downloaded some Viewers for Office 2003

Can someone please give some more explicit help on this problem. It has been
driving me nuts for months -- and oddly this KB triggers the problem it is
supposed to prevent (and which I haven't had except with this KB) -- fixing a
problem that prevents updates from installing.

How much more explicit can it be? If you have a 2003 viewer installed,
you'll be prompted for woo3 patches.

Whoops, I read the original message but had missed the title (got here on a
Google search).

I have Office 2003 installed, and this KB will not update that installation.
