security update for Excel viewer 2003

[John]

I've already pressed the red X and it jest came up with a little box saying
failed.
I tried to donload yo a floppy disk but the ones I've got aren't big enough,
tried downloading again, with the same result.
Made sure I had right version.
What does mean and should I doanything
a.. Office2003-kb914451-fullfile-enu.exe: You might need to provide the
installation source during patch installation.
a.. If you think it's worth it I will get bigger disks tomorrow
a.. Thanks for the help

Go back to Windows Update history. Re-review it. On the item with the red
X under "Satus", click on the red X.
That will lead to a popup window with the actual error number & some text.
Please do that & post back the info.

Maybe your prior failures were in the download phase, & not in the actual
install phase, otherwise a log would be expected.

Yes, I suppose you may remove the Excel viewer.

Before you do that though, go to the MS Download Center, and get the viewer
security update by download

Save it to disk, then run it to install.

You should save to your hard drive, instead of a floppy.

I donloaded it to the hard drive but it still wouldn't install.
I wondered if the message on the download document might be the reason, I've
copied it again:
Office2003-kb914451-fullfile-enu.exe: You might need to provide the
installation source during patch installation

So then, did that prompt come up & if so, did you input a reply?

You have an alternative. Remove the viewer using Control Panel Add-Remove Programs.
Go to MS Download Center, where you can download both the viewer and the latest patch for it.
Be sure to save them to a unique folder on your hard drive. That folder is then the installation source.

Well, thanks very much.
The viewer and the security update were installed.

I was having the same issue as John. Thanks for the fix, the viewer
and the security update are now installed with no errors returned.
