Auto Update Issue

If the message is explicitly clear that the download is ready to be
installed then just right-click on the icon in the systems tray and and
select install now. Also select Express so that you don't have to
intervene at all and windows will run the necessary process for you.

If this doesn't work then click on the icon (or even double click) and
follow the instructions on the screen.

Well, the problem is that once the download was completed, all icons
disappeared and there is nothing to click. The four office files were
downloaded and there is no mechanism to install them.
I might try changing the extension to exe to see if they become
executable, but other than that, I am stumped. The download process
just dumped 140MB of files on my system. It never happened that way
before...this is a new one.

Hi Henry,

In your Start menu you may find a setting for
Microsoft Update (the one that combines Windows Update
and Office Update services). If you use that item or
go to http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en
you can change the settings for how the updates/notices are
sent out.

As for updating, MS Update seems to sometimes lose
track of what it already downloaded and downloads again.
You may be able to install the updates already downloaded
(either as MSI (install) or MSP (patch) files but you didn't
mention which updates, file types/sizes that were downloaded.
The Office 2003 SP2 update will be available on CD later this
year.

========
Thanks for the advice...and yes, I am aware of many things..but
whether this was an XP or office issue was not one of them. Since
Windows update apparently choses to include office updates now, it
seems like one or the other fora would work..but you haven't told me
how to actually install these large files that are now just sitting
there. Since they are Office update files, do you suggest I go to an
XP forum for that advice?? Or maybe you could share a little more
oxygen and just tell me.
