On this page: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=55430121-4476-48b8-9f6f-4a60fa0b2970&displaylang=en It says "The update will install properly if either of the following are true: The 2007 Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 1 (SP1) is currently installed. (Recommended) The 2007 Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 1 (SP1) is not currently installed."
If that is INCORRECT, perhaps those instructions need to be removed.
