installation KB905648: spamfilter in Outlook 2003 fails

Hi,

I'm running Windows XP Home SP2 and I'm having problems with installing
KB905648: spamfilter in Microsoft Outlook 2003, which is published on
13-DEC-2005 on the website.

Windows Update recommended to install this update, but I tried it 4 times
without any luck. The message is something like "installation failed, please
reboot to continue with the installation". After the reboot the installation
automatically starts, but fails again.

The Microsoft Update website is showing me error message 0x51F: please try
to install this update again. But this doesn't help...
All other updates I can/could install normally.

Any idea how this could be solved? Thank you in advanced.

You receive an "Installation Error: File not Found" or "Error 0x51F" error message
when you try to update Office 2003 programs from the Office Update Web site or the
Office Download Center
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875556/en-us

You may receive error 0x51F when you try to install an Office Updates. Applicable
Office versions: Office 2003
http://update.microsoft.com/windowsu...=en&IsMu=False

Error code 0x51F – Apparently this occurs when Office Setup cannot locate the
installation source because it’s either corrupted or deleted.
Downloading the full update (KB905648: spamfilter in Microsoft Outlook 2003) may fix
this problem.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

or

Some have reported that placing the Office 2003 CD in the drive before trying to
install the update also fixes the problem.

Otherwise try repairing your installation of Office 2003

Method 1 – Open Word, go to Help – Select Detect and Repair

or use Method 2 -

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Add or Remove Programs.
3. Click the Office 2003 program that you want to repair, and then click Change.
4. In the Maintenance Mode Options dialog box, click Reinstall or Repair, and then
click Next.
5. In the Reinstall or Repair Office dialog box, click Detect and Repair errors in my
Office installation, and then click Install.
6. When the repair process is finished, run the update again.

Most likely you will need to have your Office 2003 CD handy.

Had the same problem. Inserting the CD for original Office 2003 install
solved the problem per TaurArian post.

Thank TaurAiran for the assistance.

Hello. Just wanted to say thanks for the good ideas as well. I was trying to
install the Outlook Junk Filter released on Feb 14th and was having the same
problem. Putting in the CD and doing a Detect & Repair fixed my issue on not
being able to install KB911961.

Have a nice day!
