WSS/MOSS + There are no products affected by this package installed on this system

Hey guys,
If any of you recieve an error "There are no products affected by this package installed on this system" while installing MOSS/WSS updates. Make sure you have downloaded the appropriate windows version update from Microsoft site.
Eg: I was getting the error "There are no products affected by this package installed on this system" when I tried to install wssv3sp1-kb936988-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe, instead i have to download and install wssv3sp1-kb936988-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe for my system configuration..
Hope this helps
Happy programming :-)

Abdul, thank you very much for this hint! I could really not imagine what MS tried to tell me with that message, since I was sure that SharePoint was installed on the server :-) It took quite some attentive reading to find the link for the x64 versions...

Yep, me too. Installing SP2 on a Sharepoint VM for a dev, and kept getting this message. Dev VM was 32-bit, but my install package was the 64-bit.

hey,
I am trying to install Microsoft Sharepoint software foundation.
I have downloaded this setup from Microsoft site: wssv3sp1-kb936988-x86-fullfile-en-us.

I am running 32bit version of XP SP3. Still I am getting this error.

Can you please help ?
