Outlook keeps trying to install updates, then fails
An admin who was running Office 2000 in Win XP SP2 upgraded only Outlook to Outlook 2002. Now whenever Outlook is opened it tries to install an update, and then fails.
It has probably been updated by some other means. I have read KBID259554 to update some setup files but that has not helped. My Setup.exe for Outlook 2002 is version 9.0.0.3821 and my enhsetup.exe is version 10.0.2627.0. What is forcing Outlook to want to install an update, and what is causing the subsequent failure?
A second possibility is that the temporary files being unpacked into the C:Config.msi directory by the installer might need to be deleted. You may have older temporary files there that are blocking the upgrade.
