KB959140 can not be applied.

If I can be permitted...
The KB959140 (Outlook 2003 Junk E-mail Filter of 13 Jan 2009, can not be
applied.
This is either through Win Update or by download, or even through execution
of the msp file. This is to a WXP SP3 Desktop.
It is verified that an older version 1.4.7027.27 is installed. The new one
is 1.4.7114.15.
Error message for the Win Update and run of the downloaded file is "Update
can not be applied"
Error message for the msp file is "installation ended prematurely because of
an error"
On reboot of the system there is the message "Click Turn Off to install
important update", subsequently, Win Update is continuing to offer and
attempt to install same KB959140.
Your assistance will be appreciated.
Cheers

You got the .exe from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

By combing through
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/or...402381033.aspx
I found only one reason the update might not have gone in, which is
that you have an unsynchronized admin install somewhere - unlikely.
There are a couple command line options if you do:

Have you considered reinstalling Outlook? If it were me in your shoes,
I would prefer to live with an outdated spam filter to that. Also, I would
post my problem in an Office newsgroup, such as the one for Outlook.
This link should kick it up in WinMail on the Vista computer you're using:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlook

I am willing to listen, but that's about all the help I have to offer.

Thanks for the return and info.
The article offer no less than 12 ways to troubleshot. Very impressive!
One word of caution about clearing the temp directory completely. For some
stupid reason there are items that refuse to be deleted, even with clear
attributes. There are also directories, even empty, that if deleted, will
create problems with some programs (TrenMicro antivirus for instance).
The advice of search and repair of the program was already successfully use.
Rather simple and fast.
Cheers,

YW & thanks for your feedback.

Reboot before attempting to clear any "temp directory" - Windows will not
allow you to delete anything needed during the current boot, Doc.
