Hi All,
I am receiving a Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455) 32-Bit Edition to install from Windows Update.
Yet, I have installed Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007. Do I install this Update or Hide it?
Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit Service Pack 1.
Thank you!
you are suppose to update office so you can continue receiving important security updates for each application you have installed
I get the same thing, have Office 2007, offered updates for Office 2010. I just let them install figuring MS doesn't know what they are doing.
There may be add-ons installed in Office 2007 which use parts of Office 2010 - it's these that require updates.
(Compatibility packs spring to mind - although I have to admit nothing else does :))
I was so intrigued by this that I installed Office 2007 into a VM - then updated it via Windows update to SP3 and updates that come after that. There was one tiny 2010 update (which I installed), but never a 2010 service pack offered.
I thought about the comparability pack thing too...
...but forgot by the time all of the updates completed :-(
I did find a few posts where others say that the pack is the cause of this offer.
It seems the Office 2010 updates apply to MS Access, which I didn't install.

When it opens select item 4 from the menu or scroll down & you will a section on Access Runtime.
