Fail to install security updates for Excel 2003, Outlook 2003

for some weeks now I've been trying to upgrade the following 3:
-Security Update for Excel 2003 (KB925257)
-Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB925534)
-Security Update for Outlook 2003 (KB924085
But they fail to install each time I try.

I run XP SP2 and installed all the automatic updates withouit any problem
until now.

Does anyone know the answer?

Try this and post back with result.

This has worked for many.
