Issues that the hotfix package fixes
This hotfix package fixes the following issue:  

897577 You receive an &quot;Another version of this product is installed&quot; error message when you try to help protect or to open an IRM document in an Office 2003 program



This hotfix package also fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
 * When you click a hyperlink in an Office 2003 document to open a file, a second copy of the file is opened. This issue may occur when the following conditions are true:
 * The file is in a different folder than the Office 2003 document.
 * The file is already open in another program.
 * If you open an Office 2003 file that is an attachment to an e-mail message in Outlook Web Access (OWA) over HTTP, you are prompted for your user name and for your password.

If you type your user name and your password, the file opens as expected when you click OK.

However, if you click Cancel, you are prompted again for your user name and for your password. After you repeatedly click Cancel to cancel the request for your user name and for your password, the file is opened as read-only.

Prerequisites
The following list contains prerequisites for the hotfix package:  The optimized version of this hotfix is a post-Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) hotfix. To install the hotfix, you must have Office 2003 SP1 installed.

For more information about Office 2003 SP1, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

842532 Description of Office 2003 Service Pack 1

 The full-file version of this hotfix is also the administrative version of this hotfix. You can install this version of the hotfix on a computer that is running Office 2003 with Office 2003 SP1 installed or on a computer that is running Office 2003 without Office 2003 SP1 installed.

However, we have tested this hotfix more extensively on a computer that is running Office 2003 with Office 2003 SP1 installed than we have on a computer that is running Office 2003 without Office 2003 SP1 installed. If you install this hotfix on a computer that is running Office 2003 without Office 2003 SP1 installed, some file conflicts might occur. We support this configuration, but we do not recommend this configuration.
