I tried updating my Office 03 via regular WU and with Office Update but the Office Service Pack 2 keeps failing installation. It doesn't give me any details. The Outlook filter along with it installed OK, but not the service pack. I checked in Add/Remove and under "Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003" and "Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003" it has all the updates but on on the top is just "Update" with no installed on date or any other info, just and Update ID that looks like about a 30 character code. Anyone having similar problems? This is annoying me.
