Office2003 Updates

[fattmatt]

Hey guys, first of all i want to say this is a great site!

I have now managed to almost complete my unattended cd's, but i am stuck on one thing...

Office2003 Updates, i have followed the unattended guide for slipstreaming SP1 and all the current updates(7 of them) to a "T", everything seems to work as it should, but when i go to the new Microsoft Update site after i install, it says i still have 5 of the 7 updates to install, KB896999, KB873381, KB887980, KB892258 and KB885828.

Now the weird thing is if i download these updates manually and try to install them off my desktop, it says "This update is allready installed, blah, blah", but they will install through the new Microsoft Update site.

So the slipstreaming of SP1, KB887982 and KB887979 worked, but the other 5 updates didn't?,

Any ideas??

Regards,

Matt.

Are you used the administrative updates for splitstream ?

Sorry for the delayed response, im on Australian time (11.30pm now)...

I assume administrator updates are the same as the "fullfile" updates, because that's what i have used, is that what you mean or have i missed something??

Cheers,

Matt.

The problem as I understand it has more to do with Windows update and they way it determines things. The same thing is true with the Windows 3.1 installer. It says I need it, but you can clearly see the uninstall folder under the Windows folder. Go figure. MS are updating their update services almost as I post here.

Don't worry about it if you have them installed. The point is to be protected and up-to-date. They'll get it right sooner or later! )
