Why is WSUS saying an Office 2007 installation needs O-2003 SP3?

[Guest aballew]

I have just brought a computer running Vista Business and Office 2007 into my

domain. WSUS 3 is showing it as needing Service Pack 3 for Office 2003.

Why? What effect will allowing it to install have?

Probably has an Office 2003 product or component in there somewhere.

We have only 35 Office 2003 suites installed but almost 400 machines that

list SP3 as needed or installed.

 

Project, Visio, OneNote, the list goes on...

 

It shouldn't hurt anything to install it.
