Office Update on Me/98 locks up on install + missing Outlook Security Update on 2K, any ideas?

I'm in the tail end of recovering from Isabel, and am trying to update my
home PC's with any updates that have been issued in the past few weeks. I am
having big troubles with 2 PC's (1 ME and 1 98SE) where the Office update
will go through the detection and download stages but locks up on the actual
installation. This appears to be a new problem as I haven't seen it before.
Also the Office update program updated itself on both machines right before
I started having these troubles, so I'm guessing that the new update engine
is the culprit. Can't figure out how to make it work though.

Although office update seems to be working much better on my 2k machines, I
am also having trouble withone of those. the Outlook 2002 CDO security patch
refuses to install because it claims that the "Microsoft Outlook Email
Security Update" is not installed. I have no idea what this is as I can't
find any explicit mention of it anywhere else on the support site. Needless
to say Office update isn't reporting that there are any patches apart from
CDO available. Go figure.

I would love to hear any ideas that you all may have on both of these
troubles. As a side note all of my PC's have offices 97, 2k and XP installed
on them (I do a lot of Office development work), although I doubt this is a
factor. Thanks all.

Jon
