should I update office xp before installing win xp sp3

V

V S Rawat

My office xp is at release version and no update has been
installed.

my win xp is at sp2 installed.

I am downloading xp sp3 for installing my win xp to sp3 level.

Should I download update of office xp first and update that to
sp2 level BEFORE installing win xp sp3?

Where to find relevant updates for office xp?

oops! (for the last question.) I could find the links to office
xp update on the very page from where win xp sp3 update can be
downloaded. sorry for not looking properly.

However, the other query remains. Should I update office first
before installing winxpsp3

Thnks and Rgds.

You'll have to because SP3 STILL doesn't exist.

Like Mike just said, there has been NO SP3 for Windows XP released yet. The
latest Service Pack for XP is SP2.

MSOffice updates should not be effected by whatever version of the operating
system that you have installed.

Windows update is your SOURCE for Windows updates and Office Updates.

There IS NO WINDOWS XP SP3 available, if you find one it's a hack and
not put out by Microsoft.

As for Office updates, when you open the Windows Update page, click on
the "Office Family" button, then select the "Office Update - check for
updates" button and it will provide you with all you need.

THERE IS NOT WINDOWS XP SP3 software.

There is an Office XP SP3 update if I remember correctly, but not a
Windows XP SP3 udpate.

Service Packs are inclusive, just install OFFICE SP3 and it
will do SP1 and SP2 where needed.

Windows XP SP3 is illegal right now because Microsoft doesn't offer it yet.
I believe SP3 for XP isn't coming out until sometime in 2007 - after Windows
Vista releases. Microsoft's main focus right now is Windows Vista, not
Windows XP SP3.

Since you quoted me - how does that differ from what I said - Windows XP
SP3 is not available from any source that could be considered legit.

The bit about Vista, the date, all of that didn't seem to reach my news
server from your post. It seems he added some quite interesting things that
you didn't post- if you knew them at all.

Apart from the fact that there is no WinXP sp3, Windows updates and Office
updates are completely independent of one another.
