Hello, I can not manually install (normal or unattended/quiet mode) or
slipstream (using the msiexec to integrate the MSP into an admin
install source) the latest Outlook 2003 junk mail filter (hotfix
KB936677). Starting the Office Source Engine does not help (somebody
with a similar problem suggested this). The only method that seems to
work is to use Microsoft Update or Office Update, which is
unacceptable to me since my goal is to have a completely updated
office install with SP3 and any new hotfixes already integrated - so
the end result is nothing required to download on either MU or OU.
It appears there is a version mismatch incorrectly coded into this
hotfix. When running a manual install of this hotfix (by simply
downloading and executing) on a computer with Office 2003 w/ SP3
already installed, I get an error saying "The expected version of the
product was not found on your system." When I extract the OUTLFLTR.msp
file from the hotfix package and execute that file or attempt to
integrate to an admin install source using msiexec, I get an error
saying "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer
service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the
upgrade patch may update a different version of the program." The .log
files indicate a 1642 error code.
I'm not the only one with this problem:

babelfish if you do not understand German)
I do integrate SP3 in my office source beforehand in the same manner I
did SP2 previously, detailed here: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/48/
and both MU and OU detect it as properly installed, so other than the
outlook filter hotfix, it's a "clean slate" otherwise on both
websites. I've been doing this for years, never a problem.
On a side note, I want to point out that Microsoft Update has never
properly detected slipstreamed office 2003 hotfixes (using msiexec to
integrate the msp file to an admin install source) whereas Office
Update always has. The only way to convince Microsoft Update is to run
unattended/quiet installs of Office 2003 hotfixes in RunOnceEx of a XP
unattended install (therefore consuming more time to finish), or to
slipstream the office hotfixes as normal, and then export the registry
of the office hotfix section of a computer updated through MU to
refrain it from telling me I need to download fixes that are already
properly integrated. Very annoying.
