SP / Hotfixes

[myermian]

I tried doing a search to see if I could find anything on this, but I can't.

Is there a list of hotfixes included in SP2? I'm trying to slipstream all up-to-date hotfixes, but I don't want to download unnecessary ones that are already included in SP2.

Sorry, wrong post. BTW, which Office version are you talking about?

*You posted in the MS office area*

Are you talking Operating System XP SP2?

(the question is oddly worded for an office updates issue as they are defined by year as well).

Office 2003 latest SP is SP3. It includes all updates including SP1 and SP2.

Latest for 2007 is SP2.

download service packs here: http://support.microsoft.com/sp

for latest updates after a SP, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx. Then in the search criteria, choose office version and then choose the latest SP you have installed and it will only give you updates post the SP.

That's exactly what I needed.... a list of ONLY hotfixes POST SP2 (Office 2007), sorry I forgot to list that earlier.

Wait, this doesn't seem right... the website the guy posted says that Office 2007 w/ SP2 only has one other necessary hotfix? Is that right??

You got your search criteria correct? I'm showing 5 critical and 1 important thus far.

I did Office 2007 w/ SP2 and it only suggested one update for MS Excel (I also checked the box saying don't show stuff that's already been replaced with another hotfix).

download microsoft base security analyzer. you'll have to search for it. it's a free tool by MS, now supporting windows 7. it'll tell you what's missing after it scans your system.

It also gives you links to download the security update so you can download them and save them on your hdd.
