Software Update and Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update

[tim01742]

Hi all,

I created a Mac OS X 10.5 Server virtual machine. After launching, Software Update pops up and wants to install a number of updates, including the "Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update". My host computer already has the firmware update installed. I'm not certain what installing the Firmware Update in a virtual machine would do. On the other hand, the Mac OS X 10.5.6 Combined Update probably depends on the Firmware Update.

What do I do?

Many thanks in advance!
Tim

SMC version is taking from Host OS,
Please check that you have firmware updates installed on Host
