I had exactly the same problem as you. (See my post on 10-9-2006.)
Well, I solved the problem myself by uninstalling and then re-installing
Office 2003. This turned out easier than I thought it would be.
I first used control panel to remove Office 2003 and did a fresh
installation of Office from the copy of install disk I have on my hard drive.
(I could have used the original disk, but chose to use the copy so future
updates will not require me to mount the disk.)
I then ran Windows update which updated Office with SP 2. After rebooting,
I ran it again and it installed the updates perfectly.
I then rebooted again, put shortcuts for Outlook, Word and Excel on my
desktop, and found that everything was perfect. My calendar, task list, and
prior file references were in place for all programs.
I recommend this procedure and it turned out to be the simplest and least
time consuming in the long run. (I have cable internet so download time is
minimal.)
Hope this helps.

This wasn't much help. I'm trying to update Office 2003 SP2 on a home.
desktop running WinXP Home SP2.
The installation proceeds, with each marked as having "failed". No
explanations, error codes or help links.
Assuming I can't find the problem, and further assuming I ignore the
failures, and forget about updating, what am I risking?

How to troubleshoot failures updating your Office installation from the
Office Update
Web site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304498
If you disable the Ose.exe file, Microsoft Office updates do not install
when you use
Microsoft Windows Server Update Services or the Microsoft Update Web site
to deploy
software updates and hotfixes to computers in the organization
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=903774
Note, if Windows Live Safety Center Registry Clean-up has been used, then
you need to
restore the registry keys that were deleted in the clean-up.
Use control panel "Folder Options", tab "View", to enable "Show hidden
files and
folders"
Close all Internet Explorer windows.
Use Windows Explorer to navigate to folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Windows Live Safety
Center\BackUp\
and double-click the .reg file previously created by the Microsoft Safety
registry
