Office 2003 and windows xp sp2


I have tried several times to install this office update: Security Update
for Outlook 2003 (KB892843) (English version)


Each time I get that the installation has failed. I've tried the full file
and from windows update. Any suggestions?

Do you get any particular error when it fails? If so, please include that in
its entirety. The following MS articles may help you to solve:

Office updates may not be applied successfully if See Microsoft KB
article
The administrative installation point has been updated.

The path to the local installation source is invalid.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903776
The OSE.exe file is corrupt. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903772
The Office Source Engine service (Ose.exe) startup type has been set
to Disabled. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903774
The computer has both a per-user and per-computer installation of
Office. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903775

No error code. When I get prompted to send an error report I get this:

Here's what helped me. I had that same problem with the KB892843 update. It
would just sit in my tray and never install. I finally figured out that my
Windows Installer was corrupted, after iTunes and Adobe Reader updates also
would not install. The following article was very helpful.

Basically, this is what I did. Downloaded a new copy of the Windows
Installer 3.1, installed it. Unregistered it and reregistered it. Then
rebooted. The security update finally installed and I was able to install the
other two applications.
