Outlook 2003 Junk Mail Filter update (KB925254)

Through automatic updates I have tried to install this update four times only
to get a message that the update failed to install. What do I have to do to
get it to install. The error code is 0x52F.

I had a similar problem (different junk mail patch) and several other updates
that were all hanging and not installing, for weeks. In my case the failed
updates all concerned Office (even the junk mail patch), and I traced the
problem to a no longer existing disk drive letter (I got error 1327 - invalid
drive). If you have changed your disk configuration/partitions recently then
you might also try this:

- download the LIS tool

http://update.microsoft.com/windowsu...=en&IsMu=False

- run the LIS tool, and select "Move the LIS to a different drive"

Having selected a new drive letter (I chose C, to keep it simple), I
downloaded the junk mail patch file manually (saved it locally, then ran it).


e.g. see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/925254

It needed a missing dll (I just had to put my Office CD in the CD drive),
and that was it. The other downloads all installed after that without a
problem.
