The cause for the Word and Excel 2003 Viewer Updates KB924554 and KB924164 failing to install is usually attributed to the installation files being missing from where they were run from.
In plain English, if you've deleted the installation file or moved them from where they were run to install the Word and 2003 Excel Viewers, *any* subsequent update to said Viewers will fail.

Download them again from the Microsoft Download Center:

Create a folder in My Documents and name it Viewers
Move the Word or Excel Viewers installation file to the Viewers folder
Install them from there. Do NOT delete or move them from this folder or subsequent updates for them will FAIL.
