OL2003 updates in Vista SP1 from original CD to the present.

[BudV]

I finally succeeded in installing OL2003 from its original CD.

The latest big update I found was Service Pack 4 for Outlook 2003 and
Business Contacts Manager (BCM). Since I have never heard of BCM I assume
that I do not have it. Can I still apply this SP4 to what I have without
worrying about corrections to a program that isn't there?

 

[DL]

Yes
If you have BCM installed it will be shown in the Add/Remove dialogue

SP4 for Office 2003 ?? Are you sure of that

 

[BudV]

It was specifically "Service Pack 4 for Outlook 2003 and Business Contacts
Manager ..." and the download was Office SBMESP4-KB930954-FullFile-ENU.EXE.
I have DL's blessing to go. Do you agree?

 

[BudV]

Well, I was too impatient to wait, so I tried it. No joy. It demanded the
presence of Business Contact Manager. So I downloaded BCM, and it demanded
the presence of other software, so I've decided to give up the never-ending
reincarnation of Outlook 2003 and buy Outlook 2007. No telling what I'm
going to find on this new venture. Wish me luck.

Thanks for your efforts.

It probably didn't work because it was for BCM. Outlook 2003 is at SP3 level
(and will never get to SP4 as it is no longer supported.)

The update is described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930954 - if you
look at the affected files, all files are for BCM. The programs it applies
to are:
Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting 2006
Microsoft Office Small Business Management Edition 2006
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager <== this means
"when BCM is installed".
