No. Office 2003 is not broken in this case - your system is. ;-) If it was Office 2003 - no one would be able to install SP3 in the same way you seem to be unable to. That would be a problem on a mass scale and likely would not exist long or your query would have a 'sure - you can get your money back because they cannot fix it.' answer. ;-) The product likely works fine if you uninstall it and integrate SP3 into the original installation media (making a new installation media set) and install it using that. There's also likely some way you could fix your system to allow SP3 for Office 2003 to install onto it. You tried the solution Uwe posted?
