but when i say to install it fails every update with erorr:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with
error 0x8007006e: Security Update for Office 2003 (KB929064).
I have tried stopping and starting the Automatic Updates service. Removed
and added back to our domain.

Check to ensure that your "Office Source Engine" is running. It can b
found inside "MSCONFIG" under services. It's easier to find if you pu
a check in the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box. Make sure the "OSE
is checked and running. Afterwards Office updates should instal
normally.

Happy hunting

I am having the same issue with the installation error messages. My OSE is
running but that did not help anything.

Anything else I might try?

Go to the "Control Panel", "Add or Remove Programs", click on your M
Office version and select "Change" then "Repair" and let me know if yo
get an error msg
