Jet 4 Sp 8 update problem

Have Win XP and getting an error when I try to install the Jet 4 SP8 update.
Keeps telling me I have a later update version than that being installed so
it is not needed but my database (Access 2003) program keeps telling me I
need to upgrade. Get KB829558 message but can not find the fix. Help please

I have been dealing with the same problem for several days. Suddenly I
couldn't use my Earthlink TotalAccess e-mail program. I keep getting a
message to update my MDAC_Jet.msi. I have tried to reinstall it multiple
times, but I keep getting the same error message. Have you found a solution
yet?

What do you think caused this ? Were any updates installed ? No.
Did Earthlink 'update' something ? Yes.
Perhaps Earthlink caused this, not MS ? Yes !!!!
Why not contact them and find out what they screwed up ? YES !!!

Or, if there is an update being offered that will not install, perhaps
you can post the KB number of it so that someone can help you get it
installed.
Quoting 'Slow Learner' with a totally out of context post certainly
doesn't offer a clue to someone who *might* assist you.

Ahh ... now we know why :
