Update KB824938 (Office XP WordPerfect 5.x Converter)

[Huffin the Puffin]

I have just bought a new Compaq Presario 8110 with XP Home and all updates
done. Installed XP office student/teacher eddition. MS Office update is OK
with SP1 and SP2 and other 5 suggested updates, but can't handle KB824938
(Office XP WordPerfect 5.x Converter). During update I'm requested to put in
CD Microsoft Word 2002. Then I will get the message that "The file Microsoft
Word 2002 is no longer a valid installationspacket for the product Microsoft
Word 2002 . Look for a folder who contains the installationspacket
WORDRET.MSI and try installing Microsoft Word from there." (Translated from
the swedish message).
So far I have tried to find WORDRET.MSI with no luck. Repairing the Word2002
or the XP Office have had no effect. Everything else seems to work fine. Any
ideas?

Tia and happy New Year

I think I can answer my own question now. It appears that there is a fault
in the way Office Update works. This patch "KB824938"
was ment for a standalone installation of Word 2000. How it appears on the
update of the whole Office packet is a different question.
