Office Update failure, fresh Office 2000 install on XP Home

[ScottB]

I just installed Office 2000 Small Business on a brand new Win XP Home
machine, and then I ran Office Update. It successfully installed SR-3 along
with a number of other updates, but there are eight updates which download
but fail when they try to install. They do not call for a CD, which in any
case I have should I need them. I've tried restarting, turning off
anti-virus software, and installing each update individually, all to no
avail. Any ideas on what to try next? I remember a problem like this years
ago, and the solution was to get hold of the update file directly and install
it via another mechanism, but I don't recall what that was.

The offending updates are:
KB921593
KB925524
KB929062
KB929139
KB873380
KB920822
KB914797
KB905646

Thanks,
Scott

Office 2000 SB is not supported anymore.

What you want to try is to download these Updates individually and NOT from Windows Update but from (as an example) from Microsoft Downloads or Directly from Office downloads and installing them 1 by 1 manually.
