Office Update

[Rugbytrader]

Hi, Gurus,
I am trying to apply Office update service pack 1 to my office xp
installation, and each time I try I get so far and then this message
appears:
Error 1328: Error applying patch to file
C:\Config.Msi\PTD3.tmp. It has probably been updated by other means,and can
no longer be modified by this patch.
The PTD3 part changes each time, but still remains fairly similar.
I had a look at the Microsoft Support website, but it's written in a
language that I don't understand!
Can anyone give me a laymans explanation of how to get my Office XP
up-to-date? Should I try and get each individual update instead of all those
bunched up together?
Thanks in anticipation,
Ed

Sounds like you've got a non-retail or promotional copy of office. The only
way is to do an Admin upgrade.

Ran into the same issue.... your software is either cracked or
unreleased. Follow the instructions here to update to SP1.
Afterwards, you should be able to get the other SPs from Microsoft's
site.
