Just Discovered Two June 2014 MS XP - Office 2007 Updates

[Monroe]

Today I decided to run the IE 8 MS Update check and found these two Office 2007 updates were available for June. I only have Office 2000 installed and there have been earlier updates for Office 2007 before the last XP updates in April. I wasn't going to check for updates "every" month but I guess I will still have to run a "monthly" update check.

 

I am surprised  to still find Office 2007 updates for XP after April 2014. I manually downloaded the two updates to install later and also save. They were published on May 27, 2014 and provided with the June 10, 2014 Update release.

 

Both updates are for:

 

Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows XP

 

 

Security Update for Microsoft Office 2007 suites (KB2878233)

 

06/10/2014  (6.1 MB)

 

Security Update for Microsoft Office 2007 suites (KB2880513)

 

06/10/2014  (4.2 MB)

 

Just a heads up that a monthly update check still seems to be required with XP. This was sort of news to me.

MS SB Advance Notification for June is out... there's 5 of them for Windows (but not necessarily all may apply to XP).

 

On a finer reading we have:

Bulletin #7 ("Tampering") surely is not even applicable to XP (since it's not applicable to Vista and both Servers 2k3 and 2k8)

Bulletin #6 probably doesn't apply either (because it's not applicable to Server 2k3).

So we're left with just 3 updates that apply.

OTOH, Bulletin #3 applies to Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 3, so it may be useful for those using Office 97 or higher.

 

Now we know that Bulletin #7 == MS14-030 and Bulletin #6 == MS14-031 (and, BTW, Bulletin #5 == MS14-032) and that all my senseless hazarded guesses turned out to be right (and below I list which updates belong to which bulletins, including MS14-034 == Bulletin #3, the one that apples to MS Office Compatibility Pack SP3):

KB2878233    MS14-036    Ogl.dll        12.0.6700.5000KB2957503    MS14-036    GdiPlus.dll    5.2.6002.23386KB2957509    MS14-036    Usp10.dll      1.420.2600.6557KB2957689    MS14-035    IE8 componentsKB2880513    MS14-034    Wordcnv.dll    12.0.6700.5000KB2939576    MS14-033    Msxml3.dll     8.100.1055.0                         Msxml6.dll     6.20.2503.0

 

Well, they're not exactly breaking news, monroe, but thanks for the heads up all the same...

Those updates apply to anyone using any office suite from '97 onwards (even if officially just from 2000 onwards) who has added the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack, BTW

Thanks dencorso for the additional information ... I really wasn't checking for MS XP updates anymore. I had planned to maybe check every 6 or 8 months to see if anything was showing up.

 

I really wanted to stop with update checks after the last official April update release, including that last XP update on May 1st.

 

After I installed those last "official" updates, I then made a clean image backup to a DVD in early June ... just don't want to fool with image backups anymore, now that I seem to have a very good one.

 

With the new free RollBack XP, everyone should be able to achieve a good XP setup and be able to keep it that way.
