More XP update trouble

[StudentTeacher]

Installed XP small business onto my laptop and tried downloading an update.
While dl'ing the Service Pack 3 update from the website, it stops and asks
for the file STD.MSI on the installation CD, but no such file exists on the
CD. Any thoughts?

Hi, StudentTeacher,

The Office Updates use the Windows Installer data to see what Office
programs are installed and require patching. Check the Windows Control
Panel's Add/Remove Programs applet to see what else is installed, even from
a previous version. Or FrontPage, Publisher, Project or the like. Either
uninstall the programs you no longer use, or insert their CD when prompted
by the update.

This may provide more information:
