I have tried the kb, but there are no entries listed. I have uninstalled,
reinstalled, redownloaded and still no entries.
I have the same basic problem, but I have not lost access to Office 2003,
but I cannot repair, change features, or install SP3. I get the package
error. I have reinstalled Windows Installer as well.
The Office 2003 SP3 aborts prematurely, and here is the info from the
install log:
Reading the settings...
The settings are:
IsNormalUpdate=1
AdminUsesShortFilenames=1

Making sure only this instance of the bootstrapper is running...

Getting the products to patch...
Seeing if patch C:\DOCUME~1\THEFER~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\MAINSP3.msp is
needed...
The update failed.
Finished processing the update on 12/11/2007 at 14:46:41.
Encountered error 1635 while updating.
Launching Setup Watson...
Setup Watson manifest file:
C:\DOCUME~1\THEFER~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\OHotfix\DW18B.tmp.
Setup Watson command line: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Office10\dw.exe"
-d"C:\DOCUME~1\THEFER~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\OHotfix\DW18B.tmp"
When I go to add/remove, change, I get the message to veirfy that the
package exists. If I run setup from the CD I get "files being copied",
Windows Installer, then "This patch package could not be opened.
Verify.....is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
Help would be appreciated.
