Update for Office 2003 (KB907417)
Download size: 0 KB , 0 minutes (Downloaded; ready to install)
Microsoft has released an update for Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and for
Microsoft Office Word 2003. This update corrects a potential problem in which
an add-in, a smart tag, or a smart document may not load if it uses the
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. Details...


These installed fine on my "main" P4 3.06 machine.

However they consistently fail to install on my old P3 800 machine...just
can't get them to install (have tried rebooting as well).

The install tray icon appears all the time as windows XP keeps trying to
install them.

Is this a known problem ?

Any ideas as to how I can solve it ?

thanks
