I am running XP with Office 2003. The Office 2007 SP1 is "forced" on me to automatic updates. Should I run the installation?

Whenever I visited the MS Update site, I was prompted to download the SP1 for Office 2007. I always ignored this suggestion because I run Office 2003. I don't know why I would even be asked to provide this update unless I have versions Express in Visual c#, VB, and Developer Web loaded on my computer. These applications need this update? Should I start the update, or I might do something that is not compatible with my Office 2003?

Thank you

Then you'll want to hide.

1. stop the automatic updates service:

Start > run > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > click Stop
(Stopping the service will take a moment)

2 remove the contents of the download folder:

Start > run > %windir%\SoftwareDistribution (enter) > [OK]
Open the download folder and delete its contents
Close the window.

3. go to the Windows Update Web site. Select CUSTOM and allow the analysis to be performed. Uncheck the box/deselect KB936982 and hide ("don't show me this update").

4. start the automatic updates service:

Start > run > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > click Start
(Starting the service will take a moment)

    Finally!  It solved!  Found a reference here somewhere that suggested the user account control may be the problem.  Tried to set it off, but it wouldn't work.  Looking for that problem and the article referred to a problem caused by the Office 97, make changes to the registry. It gives a solution I ran, disabled UAC OK, rebooted the machine, and then Windows Update.  Guess what? It worked the first time!  Conclusion: because I first installed Office 97 this machine, and then used a version upgrade to Office 2007, which caused the problem of UAC, which in turn has caused the problem of update.  How dark is it?  In any case, everything is now fine but what a trial!

    Some time, you get the update, if the application was installed before, then removed. All by removing certain tracks or files of the application have not eliminated completely.

    In this scenario, you could get the update. If it the update to office XP SP3, it is not required in Vista.

    3. click on start-> Control Panel-> Security and then under Windows Update, click view update history. Check your history of Windows Update and this list, what is the date of the last update installed, and let me know the number KB of the update that failed to download and install recently?

    If you find that the number is KB832671 for Office XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), you should follow the steps mentioned below:

    a - open programs and features by clicking on the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking programs, and then clicking programs and features.

    b - search application for Microsoft office XP if installed, and then click Uninstall. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    You actually run the Application Builder? The application Builder icon missing What is the URL of the page?

    You are advised to complete the tutorial 2 day + Application Express Developer's Guide (if this isn't what you are already doing). See "setting your own Local environment upward" to learn how to create your own workspaces in which you use the Application Builder.

  • Does anyone know how to add a folder with sample data the installer to labview

    I have set up a program to install the application to a project I'm working on that.  I want to add a folder to the installation with some sample data files.  Currently, I added a readme file that tells the user to decompress a file included with the Setup program in a certain folder.  Is there a way to automate the process and include this with the installer?

    First add all the files you want to include in the project. Then in the properties of the installer:

    1 use tab destinations to add a folder if you have the sample files contained in their own folder.

    2. on the file source page, expand "My Computer" and find the files in the project you want to add.

    3. Select the folder you want to that they be located on the right side and click the right arrow.
