Hello,

the Office 2003 Updates of March 2010 for Excel KB978474 + Outlook
KB979771 won't install.

Seems I'm not the only one to whom that happens.
No suggestions I found helped. The updates simply say the installation
failed.

KB949074 was NOT installed, so I tried THAT first - fails too.

Common to all is that installation trundles endlessly, until it
finally says it would be preparing - only to fail a few seconds later.

I'm completely clueless.
