Re: Error Code: 0x57A on installing Office 2003 SP3

How does this pertain to Windows Update functionality, Greta?

Try an Access-specific newsgroup instead.

I am experiencing the same issue with all 14 databases I am responsible for

select a value. We have had to roll all of our group back to SP2. Is there
any progress on resolving this error?

Hi David

I managed to install SP3 by downloading it direct then running the install.

However ... I have now uninstalled it as it was causing problems in my
Access 2003 applications.

I installed SP3 on three PCs and have had to do a System Restore on all
three.

SP3 causes some columns of my combo boxes in Access 2003 to appear as all
spaces. This makes it very difficult to identify the correct values to
select. I haven't found a common theme although it is primarily the bound
column. I have tried in three
applications with a mixture of SQL 2000 and Access 2003 backend databases
–same problem.

I have XP SP2 on all machines but it is apparently also a problem with
Vista.

Any idea when this will be fixed as a lot of users with Windows Update
configured to download and install automatically will not be happy.

Hi Kevin,

This error typically indicates some form of registry corruption or
interference. If the error continues to occur after restarting your
computer, you may need to reinstall the Office 2003 programs. Registry
corruption may be caused by some registry cleaning programs, by viruses,
or by simple disk corruption, among other things.

Let us know if you continue to have issues installing the service pack.

Thanks,

I downloaded the Windows update today which included Office 2003 SP3
which failed with Error Code: 0x57A.

I only have Excel 2003 and Access 2003 installed and the full Office
2007.
I need the 2003 versions to support clients. I also have Access 97
installed.

Any clues?
