Installing Office 2003 SP2 or SP3 fails

[idlewise_nz]

I have downloaded SP2 and SP3 for Office 2003, and the automatic updater has
tried too, but after downloading the installation fails. The various error
codes are:

Error Code: 0x80246007 (Microsoft Update)
Error Code: 0x80246002 (Automatic Update)
Error Code: 0x80004005 (Automatic Update)

Update for Office 2003 (KB907417) did download and install correctly!

I would like this resolved as the automatic updates are downloading over 100
MBytes of file each time and then able to install it!

Could you please provide a verbose log from the failed install for review?
This will help us get to the bottom of it. Here is how to get a verbose log
that you can error here.

1. Please download the Sp3 to your local machine from here.
https://www.microsoft.com/downloads...49-3E13-433B-B9D2-5E3C1132F206&displaylang=en

2. Create a folder in the c:\ named Patch. Place
Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe in that folder.

3. goto start, then run. In the run box type "cmd" (without the quotes). hit
enter

4. in the black window that comes up type "cd\" (without the quotes). hit
enter then type "cd patch" (without the quotes). hit enter

5. type "Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe /c /t:c:\patch /q" (without
the quotes). hit enter

6. type "msiexec /p MAINSP3.msp /l*v c:\patch\Log.txt /qb" (without the
quotes). hit enter

7. It will fail or not. Either way please locate the file c:\patch\Log.txt.
Open that log file. If the patch failed, search the log file for “value 3â€.
Post about 10 lines above and below the “value 3†in this forum. That should
give us the answer why it is failing.

Thanks
