Updates for Office 2003 Professional

[SJ]

I am running authorized version of Office Professional 2003 but I can never
install any updates from Micrsoft for this product, such as SP3 etc. It seems
to download fine but wont install. I have installed the Microsoft
verification software but still have the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is the problem with the updates site or with your ability to install updates?

Could you try this.. this could help to tell us what the problem us...

Could you please provide a verbose log from the failed install for review?
This will help us get to the bottom of it. Here is how to get a verbose log
that you can error here.

1. Please download the Sp3 to your local machine from here.
https://www.microsoft.com/downloads...49-3E13-433B-B9D2-5E3C1132F206&displaylang=en

2. Create a folder in the c:\ named Patch. Place
Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe in that folder.

3. goto start, then run. In the run box type "cmd" (without the quotes). hit
enter

4. in the black window that comes up type "cd\" (without the quotes). hit
enter then type "cd patch" (without the quotes). hit enter

5. type "Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe /c /t:c:\patch /q" (without
the quotes). hit enter

6. type "msiexec /p MAINSP3.msp /l*v c:\patch\Log.txt /qb" (without the
quotes). hit enter

7. It will fail or not. Either way please locate the file c:\patch\Log.txt.
Open that log file. If the patch failed, search the log file for “value 3â€.
Post about 10 lines above and below the “value 3†in this forum. That should
give us the answer why it is failing.
