Trying to Update Publisher 97

[cherish]

with the updates on Microsoft's page - specifically the sr1of97z file.
Wheh I attempt to install it I get a cannot install, close applcations.
All apps are closed and still I get this message and can't install the
patch update. Any suggestions?

Is Publisher working okay. According to the download site, this service release does
not apply to Publisher.

Hi - yes it's working ok. I have installed 97 from an old disk and want
to get all the updates to it, went on the site and downloaded the first
patch and the second. Neither of which would install, giving me that
dialogue box - cannot install update, close all programs.

Might I add that I'm running XP - could this have anything to do with
the issue?

Thanks.

If Publisher is working okay, then you should be okay. What version is the Gallery?
There were some updates for the Gallery. I have 97 running on XP without issues
