unable to install outlook express update

Hi,
When I go to the windows update site it tells me I need to install:
Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 SP1 (KB823353). The computer
downloads it and installs, microsoft update says that the instalation went
OK, but the next time I enter windows update it tells me I need to install
it. It gives me no error message whatsoever and other updates are being
installed fine. I tried going directly to the microsoft web site and download
the update from there but all I got were error messages telling me I didn't
download the right version for my computer (and I tried them all).
So, how do I install it? And by the way I don't ever use outlook express so
is this update really that necessary?
I have windows 2000 SP4.
Thanx

Hi,

If you have the security update KB897715 (MS05-030) installed,
it could be caused by that.

Temporarily uninstall KB897715 (from Add/Remove Programs), and see if
KB823353 (MS04-018) installs successfully. Then install KB897715 again.


More info/workarounds here as well:
