KB974771, KB972580, KB974554, KB973705 not installing in XP

Hi there!

The other day, a fellow board member posted a question about these updates
not installing after several attempts. I posted a reply, saying I have faced
the same problem. Here is a copy of the original posts:

==============

I am having the same issues. I have tried download/install from the auto
updater, from the Windows Update website, and as my machine was shutting down.

I have also tried clearing my cookies and temporary Internet files, as well
as disabling my anti-virus. Still, the little yellow shield is staring at me!

I'm nearly at the end of my rope. I'm running XP/SP3. Suggestions?

Can we please get an answer to this ASAP? Thank you.

Assuming you're running Office 2003, too...

1. Download/install the following then reboot:

Description of the update for Office 2003 (December 9, 2008)


2. Insert your Office 2003 CD into the appropriate drive bay before
attempting to install the updates again.
