MS Office XP professional setup completed successfully
After an automated update of my WinXP Home SP2 I tried to remove an
Excel add-in, ProjeX through setting the menu bars on the default setting (a wrong idea but see the results!). To my great annoyance Office XP starts to update MS Office ! The last message told me: MS Office XP professional setup completed successfully. What does that mean: is this bad language and it means: MS Office, professional version, has beet updated ? Or has is there a mix of MSO and WinXP professional ? I dont understand anything. Frank |

Office XP and MS Office are both applications, WinXP is an operating system,
your confusion lies in there is an MS Office XP version (others would be MS Office 97, MS Office 2000, MS Office 2003), which also has subclasses, sub a Small Business, Professional, Special and Developer Editions, just like Windows XP, which has different subclasses, such as WinXP Home, WinXP Pro, WinXP MCE, etc. Excel is an Office Application, in your case part of Office XP or MS Office XP (also known as MS Office 2002), whichever you wish to refer to it. Yeap, if you add/remove options from one of the Office applications, like Word, Excel, FrontPage, PowerPoint, Access, etc, when it gets done, it will say MS Office has been updated - in some form or fashion. And yes the message "MS Office XP professional setup completed successfully" would be synonymous with "MS Office Professional has been updated" - both say MS, both say Office and both say Professional, just one has the specific version XP aka 2002. So what's the beef? I see nothing here confusing? -- Star Fleet Admiral Q @ your service!

Office and Windows XP are entirely separate. Office has a number of important upgrades, which Office Update will go and get for you after installing it -- Alex Nichol MS MVP (Windows Technologies) Bournemouth, U.K. (remove the D8 bit) |

Worth noting that Office Update only works with 2000, XP & 2003.
Both 2000 & XP updates will require you to supply the install media. Office 2003 leaves installer components on the disk drive, so users with that version get a pass. (Unless a custom install was selected) Office 97 updates are still available at: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/of...226191033.aspx "Alex Nichol" wrote in message ...
