Similar to the instructions provided below you can do this fix without
changes keys for non-office programs. Here's the path to the "Patches" key
that you need to change to "Patchesold". Under the Products folder you will
have a list of coded numbers, one of which refers to Office 2003. Find the
one that referes to office 2003 and change the key only for that product
from patches to patchesold.
This worked for me without screwing anything else up.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\<Product code number
that refers to Office 2003>\Patchesold
