2010 installation question

Post by silverback »

When I installed Office 2010, I marked all the elements I didn't want (Sharepoint, Visio, Outlook etc) as Not Available. I saw the amount of space required for the installation decrease as I did this.
Now I've received MS notification that there are high priority fixes for Office 2010 and among them are lots of fixes for these elements which I thought I had not installed e.g. Outlook

So why am I getting high priority fixes for Outlook, Visio, Sharepoint 2010 etc?

Did marking them Not Available during the installation process not install them or were they installed but just not activated?

:scratch:

Thanks

As far as I know, the applications themselves are not installed, but any Office installation contains components that let Office applications collaborate, including applications you didn't install; it's probably too complicated to leave out such components. As a result, you still get updated for applications you don't have. I wouldn't worry about it and just install them.
Best wishes,
