Trouble installing sp3 on my office 2003 Win xp professional

I am trying to install sp3 and keep getting an error message that the
expected program was not found. I have tried installing both the client and
full versions with the same message. I have win xp and office 2003. I need
the sp3 to overcome having to disable Norton in order to recieve e-mail.

The latest Service Pack for Office 2003 is SP2.
SP3 is only for Office XP, not Office 2003.

Thank you. That leaves me at a dead end. I cannot send and recieve e-mail
unless I disable Norton completely (not just antivirus part). Another
security system to cover temp will interfere with Norton and Norton has no
solutions to offer. Any ideas. Live update are complete as well as all MS
updates.

Uninstall Norton and reinstall using a custom installation and disable the
Outlook integration.

It is useless, a resource problem, and causes all kinds of problems with
sending/receiving as well as multiple copies being sent or received. You
are already protected by your real time scanner when incoming mail is
opened. If you think that scanning outgoing mail for viruses is a good
idea, just remember you must already be infected to send, so scanning there
is also useless. Norton/McAfee/Etc. are playing on the public's fear and
providing no real service, except to keep Norton and Microsoft techs fully
employed.

And which SP3 would this be? Office 2003 has only SP2 and Windows XP
Professional has also SP2.

Are you thinking of SP3 for Office XP? Or provide a link where you saw
this.

Please clarify this before you mess up your system completely!
