You might get this with both a fresh install of Office 2003 or with an older install, when you’re trying to download an update for it, for example, KB907417, as well as a few other updates that have this issue. Things that might happen are the updates failing, and Office apps might also freeze during usage. You won’t be able to use them, nor update them, until you solve this issue.

Fortunately, the solution for this is as easy as downloading the update manually, so read on for the steps on how to do that. Note that it might happen that you need the installation CD for Office, so it would be nice if you had it with you when you’re trying this. The aforementioned steps will solve the issue, and download the update you’d otherwise be struggling with. Follow them carefully, and you will have Office 2003 up and running in no time.
