Sp3 is failing to install?

Could you please provide a verbose log from the failed install for review?
This will help us get to the bottom of it. Here is how to get a verbose log
that you can error here.

1. Please download Sp3 to your local machine from here.
https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...displaylang=en

2. Create a folder in the c:\ named Patch. Place
Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe in that folder.

3. goto start, then run. In the run box type "cmd" (without the quotes). hit
enter

4. in the black window that comes up type "cd\" (without the quotes). hit
enter then type "cd patch" (without the quotes). hit enter

5. type "Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe /c /t:c:\patch /q" (without
the quotes). hit enter

6. type "msiexec /p MAINSP3.msp /l*v c:\patch\Log.txt /qb" (without the
quotes). hit enter

7. It will fail or not. Either way please locate the file c:\patch\Log.txt.
Open that log file. If the patch failed, search the log file for “value 3”.
Post about 10 lines above and below the “value 3” in this forum. That should
give us the answer why it is failing.

Thanks

You have a couple of wierd issues.

MSI (s) (08:8C) [20:27:22:311]: I/O on thread 5008 could not be cancelled.
Error: 1168

This kinda sounds like a hardware issue. I/O errors typically means
that the computer is having a problem reading from a device

MSI (s) (08:E8) [20:27:22:312]: Product: Microsoft Office Professional
Edition 2003 -- Error 1913. Setup cannot update file
C:\Windows\system32\mapisvc.inf. Verify that the file exists in your system
and that you have sufficient permissions to update it.

This looks like a file permission error.

Either way why dont we start over with a fresh uninstall/reinstall.
I'd recommend that you download the windows installer clean-up utiliity
KB290301.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

Install it.
Then run it. (You will find it in the program list)
Find Office 2003 on the list and choose remove.
Reboot.
After the reboot. Find and delete (if present) the following reg keys and
folders.

HKLM\software\microsoft\office
HKLM\software\microsoft\officecustomizewizard
HKCU\software\microsoft\office
HKCU\software\microsoft\officecustomizewizard
c:\msocache (Hidden)
c:\program files\microsoft office
c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\office11

Eric,

I did as you suggested, uninstalled office, removed reg keys,
removed/renamed folders, rebooted.
Reinstalled Office Pro 2003 and got the same error message as when
installing the service pack:

Install fails with error 1913
- Steup cannot update file c:\windows\system32\mapisvc.inf. Verify that the
file exists in your system and that you have sufficient permissions to update
it.

Had to cancel the install and now I had no office applications at all and
could not reinstall.

Decided to try and install the office applicaitons one at a time beginning
with Word. - Success
Installed Excel - Success
Installed PowerPoint - Success
Installed Publisher - Success
Installed Outlook - Failed with the same error as above. Gave up on outlook.

Went to Windows Update. Office 2003 SP3 Update installed successfully.

Now everything is working fine, except I have no Outlook!

Eric A.

What version of windows are you using?
I am not an Outlook expert, but I do have some suggestions.

Log onto the machine with an Admin account.
Please locate this file. (c:\windows\system32\mapisvc.inf)
Right click the file, choose properties.
Click on the security tab.
Click advanced
Click on the Owner tab
If using Vista click edit (if not using vista I think you can change that
owner on this screen)
Choose your account name and click ok
click ok all the way out...

Then right click the file again and choose properties.
click the security tab.
Give Everyone Full permissions.
click ok all the way out.

Try to install Outlook.

If this doesnt work....

Try deleting that file.
Then try installing Outlook.

Let me know if either of these suggestions help.

Eric,

As I said in my original post:

I verified that the file does in fact exist. I looked at the permissions,
and the only user that is listed as having sufficient permissions to
update/change/delete this file is the "Trusted Installer"

I am logged in as an administrator, and I don't think that I can even save
files in this folder (system32). I am running Vista32 Business on a Sony
VAIO laptop.

I will try again this evening, but I don't think that I have access to
modify this file in any way for some reason.
I am not a Vista expert as this is my first machine with Vista installed,
but I think that there are some safeguards installed that I don't understand
how to manipulate.

Your help is appreciated!

Hi tDogEasy,

I do understand that the current owner is the "trusted installer" and you
may or may not have permissions to work with that file, but that is why I am
instructing you to take ownership of the file. Anytime you dont have rights
to work on a file, as long as you are an admin you can take ownership of said
file/folder and then you will have rights to give or take permissions on the
file.

Try what I suggested when you get a chance and let me know how it goes.

I also was having install issues with SP3 on vista Ultimate. Error code 779.
I searched all over Vista knowledgebase, etc etc, chat rooms, newsgroups etc,
and although a few posts made some sense, they were either too cumbersome for
novices like me, or requried 3rd party software etc. Your solution concerning
taking ownership of the mapisvc.inf file worked like a charm. Someone should
send this informaiton along to the Vista groups. It is short and to the point
and it works.

Thanks for taking to time to help others.
