After installing all High-Priority/Required updates with Microsoft Update,
download the Compatibility Pack and save the file to your hard disk. Do
not run it from the MS server.

Double-click the FileFormatConverters.exe program file on your hard disk to
start the setup program.

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

When I tried to download the MS Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel
& Powerpoint 2007, I got a message that it couldn't be installed as it
requires either MS Windows 2000 Service Pack4, MS Windows Server 2003 or
MS Windows XP Service Pack 1. I have Windows XP Professional with
Service Pack 2. SP1 is no longer available for download.

How do I get around this?
