Question
Why do some of the updates in MS06-047 show they are already installed when the bulletin has not been enabled?

Answer
The file VBE6.dll is updated with the application of Office 2003 SP1 or SP2. Microsoft shows Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 1 and Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 2 are unaffected software. If machines have one of these service packs installed, Altiris Patch Management will report the corresponding updates as installed: VBA64-KB923167-X86-ENU.exe, Visio2002-KB920821-FullFile-ENU.EXE and Project2002-KB920821-FullFile-ENU.exe. The updated file version is VBE6.dll 6.4.99.72.
