Microsoft Office Update

[Adam]

Every time I try to run the Office update off of
Microsoft's home page it goes to about 87% and then I get
this message. It has been happening everytime for about a
month and a half. Can anyone help?

I am running Office Professional 2003. I have already
tried disabling Virus Software, and Firewall and still
the same thing.

Not sure if this will work, but try the six steps listed under "Additional
Troubleshooting Methods" in the article

This unfortunately did not resolve the problem.

We have this problem on one of our 150+ PCs. Have not
found the cause yet. We do know that reinstalling Office
and SPs do not help, nor do reinstalling the ActiveX
objects referenced by the updater. I have found one error
message that looks like this:
Line:699
Char:1
Error:Automation server can't create object
Code: 0
URL:
http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/mainCatalog.aspx

What does this mean, Uncle Bill?
