Agent 2.0 not included in Windows 7

[MikeY007]

I upgraded to Windows 7 but I am still running Office XP Pro 2003. I am getting the message that Microsoft Agent 2.0 is not included in Windows 7 anymore. But I was able to find a hotfix but it read to me like rather not install together with a very confusing hint that I would better use Windows update. I did that but Windows update does not provide a solution for this? The upgrade was a clean install so what ever was there before is gone now for sure? Can anyone please help? Thanks.

The problem that you are facing occurs because Microsoft Agent has been discontinued with the release of Windows 7. Microsoft Agent is not included in Windows 7, and it will not be included in any later versions of the Windows operating system. However, you can download Microsoft Agent as a hotfix for your Windows 7 computer. For more information visit this website - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969168

Apart from the above information, I would also like to add that Agent is a Windows feature and not an Office feature.
