I first noticed a problem when I recently attempted to install the latest MS Office 2003 SP2 update - it reported 'it could not be applied'. I tried re-running it several times with the very same result.
This was the first time that I have ever had a problem appying any Office update, so I tried running Office 2003's Detect & Repair to find and repair the cause of the problem, but it shortly reported 'MS Office 2003 Prof. Setup Failed'. Re-running it resulted in the same message.
Fwiw, all of my Office 2003 apps seem to be working fine, but something is obviously wrong and I don't have a clue as to how to remedy the problem short of completely reinstalling Office 2003 Pro (which I don't want to do for fear of losing all of my personal settings and data)! ...I sure could use some advice.
