Office Pro 2003 SP2

[JR]

so the update downloads, says it fails to install
the help about for any of the individual application (excel for example)
reads
Office Excel 2003 (11.6560.6568) SP2
Part of Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003

but the update site insists on downloading SP2

I have attempted to clear the cache, repair the install, and pretty much any
other suggestion that has been listed in the group

question is, is the SP really installed ?

why does the install site insist on downloaded

I even tried the full update package as per
Office2003SP2-KB887616-FullFile-ENU.exe
it just asks if I want to install the update "Office 2003 Service Pack 2
(SP2) - Admin"
prompts for license acknowledgement and then says
"The expected version of the product was not found on your system."

so what version is it looking for ?

and then I found it,
most of the updates are working , but the web components module was failing
for no reason (non listed)
so I uninstalled this module only from control panel -> add remove programs
then I reinstall just this by going to the original CD and installing only
the OWC11.MSI
then I went to the update site and low and behold - it said the updates are
already downloaded,
so I installed only and it completed successfully

just to be sure I tried the full update again from the download file - this
time it reported
"the update has already been applied or is included in an update that has
already been applied"
