Office 2003 update and Vista RC1

Hello,

Can someone please help me understand the Redmond slapdash team.

I recently installed Vista RC1. I then decided to install Office 2003, no
problems whatsoever. I then try to do an office update which stalled due to
windows encountering a problem file.

Filename: Ident.cab

Publisher: Unknown

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Femi

I installed Office 2003 and did updates through "Windows Updates", as I did
with XP.
I tried to update through the HELP menu in the different Office programs -
doesn't work.

Try using Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2 (install Beta 2 first, then install
the TR Patch) Technical Refresh instead, Just FYI.

Is there a way to solve this problem, because I don't want to setup office
2007 on this computer.
There is even a problem repairing an existing installation, reparation
aborts with a critical error not specified in more detail

Thanks!
