[mso] Re: Cannot install service pack 2 or 3 on Office 2003

Really? I have Office 2003 SP3, and I have NEVER needed to use the CD  to 
upgrade (I'm not sure even where it is right now). I don't think that is  
Dan's problem. I would be more inclined to blame read-only folders (possibly as 
 a result of a prior virus attack).

Sometimes  it asks, sometimes it doesn't.  Put the CD in and try  again

Subject: [mso] Cannot install service pack 2 or 3 on  Office 2003

I am trying to update a clients laptop running XP Home SP3  with Office 
2003 
standard edition with SP1 installed. I tried to do update  that Microsoft 
updates said were needed, they failed to install. I then  downloaded the 
full

version of Service Pack 3. It returned an error of  "The update cannot be 
applied" , no other error message. I tried the same  thing with Service 
Pack 
2 and had the same results.

Any  suggestions?

Thank you,
Dan
