Targeted Audiences not working
I am looking to fix my Targeted Audiences on my Intranet Site. Prior to SP2, I was able to choose SharePoint groups within the Targeted Audiences on web parts, left navigation bar, etc. I no longer see any of the SharePoint groups. ("There were
problems searching audiences. please contact the sys admin") I can see Global and Distribution/Security groups. After researching, I found a hotfix that states:
"After you install the updates that are described in Microsoft Knowledge Base articles 952294 and 946517, Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 audience
targeting stops functioning for nested SharePoint groups for global navigation and for any SharePoint group audience targeting for Web parts. The navigation links and Web parts in these cases are not visible at
all. Therefore, they are inaccessible to the user targeted."
This makes perfect sense, because it is only on my Intranet site (nested groups) where I am having issues. Other site collections are working
fine.
I sent the fix to our server group, but he is getting the following error upon install:
"The Expected version of the product was not found on the system"
(We are a 32 bit environment, so I sent him the link for the x86 platform hotfix):
So I researched that. (feel like I'm going backwards) Now I'm seeing several instances that refer to the Language Pack and missing SP installs.
We did the SP2 install in November 2009. What am I missing?

Can you verify if your language packs (wss and moss) have been upgraded to sp2Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Good morning everyone,
Has anyone else had this issue with Targeted Audiences not working after SP2 install? Any recommendations/suggestions are welcome, as this feature is still not working in my nested sites (Intranet). Targeted Audiences in all other site collections
seem to be working fine.
Thank you for your time,
Christine
