Office 2003 Service Pack KB907417 update error

System has tried dozens of times to automatically install an IMPORTANT
upgrade but fails. I have tried to manually install the upgrade, but it
fails. all I get is an error code 57E and even though this error appears to
have been reported to Microsoft by many others, I can find no solutions.

Tip: Insert your Office 2003 CD into the appropriate drive bay before the
next installation attempt.
