Why am I asked to install the updates for xp in my vista machine?

At the risk of sounding really stupid... I dare ask this question: Why am I being asked to install the xp updates in my vista machine?  Updates are automatically presented, and the installation failed... After reviewing the updates that failed to install I noticed that they were all updates of security for XP and not vista.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Dutchie16,

Please contact the Forum of Microsoft Vista.

I read the question and by doing some research on this subject I think the update that you mentioned (kb 917150) and not (17150 kb).

I see that the update (kb 917150) is an update of security for office XP. This is an update to the office application and not for the operating system. We need to check two things:

1 > we do not have Microsoft office Xp installed in the system.

2 > we did an update from XP to Vista.

If 1 is true then please download the stand-alone office Xp update pack and install it. If the 2nd case is true then let me know because we have a different approach to solve the problem.

The link for the standalone pack for office Xp:

Please do not respond and so I can help again the resolution does not help.

Kind regards
