Error code 0x530 – appears to relate to the Windows Installer - For more information, see KB906323

Check point -
Click Start, select Run, type: services.msc
click OK
Is the Office Source Engine service set to “Manual” in the “Startup Type”?
Also, is the Windows Installer Service is set to “Manual” in the “Startup Type”?.
If not, set them to Manual and try Windows Update again.
If they set to Manual, then perhaps look at repairing/reinstalling Office 2003.
You may need to download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to assist you in cleaning
up after Office 2003 and any other redundant office programs.
