Windows XP SP3 and Office SP3 Compatible?

[fwatts]

I just recently updated to Windows XP SP3. When I try to update to Office
SP3 the installation fails. The Microsoft website says the operating system
needs to be SP2, but I didn't know if that was just outdated. Does anyone
know if Office SP3 is supposed to be compatible with XP SP3?

Thanks.

You did not say what version of Office but, it could be that the Office SP3
was released before the XP SP3 and it really is having a problem. One
possible way to check is to go to Microsoft Updates -
http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en and
see if you are told about the Office SP3 update as a required/critical/etc
update.
