Dialog box appears titled Problem Reports and Solutions
This problem was caused by a compatibilty issue between and this version of
MS SBS. This program was created by MS Corporation.
Recommendation shows up with a link to MS.....link opens up MS page

I try to download "Update for Windows SBS 2003: Vista and Outlook 2007
Compatibilty. Click Download and the following happens....dialog box titled
Setup Error>installation did not complete....

Anyone have a clue why this happens?

It appears that you are trying to download or install updates for Windows
Small Business Server. Altough these updates address issues with Vista
compatibility and SBS, they are meant to be installed on the SBS, not on the
Vista clients.

Jane,

This is Vista Business on a pc.....came straight from a pc store....pre
loaded....why would this be asking to install on the pc when it is meant for
a server?

I know this might sound silly, but have you loaded the Vista compatibility updates onto the server for Vista? I have documented them at http://uksbsguy.com/blogs/doverton/archive/2007/02/28/using-windows-vista-and-outlook-2007-in-a-windows-small-business-server-2003-network.aspx
