Office 2007 updates after installing Visual Studio & SQL Server 2005

I just installed Visual Studio 2008 TS and SQL Server 2005 Enterprise and I get a bunch on Office 2007 updates in Windows Update. I don't even have office installed.

Should I:

  1. Just install the updates (~20MB only)
  2. Don't install and hide them (possible security issue)
  3. Uninstall to get rid of those updates

I already uninstalled some components that could cause these updates to show up. I will check updates again after restart.

I am running Windows 7 x64 and even though SQL Server 2005 is not supported, I read it runs fine.

Thanks

Solution

  • I found out that the Microsoft Visual Studio Web Authoring Component was the culprit.

    I decided to just install the updates.
