4 of the failed computers are using office 2003 and windows xp. The latest
failure was with windows Vista and Office 2007.
There is something more going on with this update then just a corrupt
OSE.exe file or a service that is set to disabled. This did not resolve any
of our computers having this issue.
If you have been trying to install Office 2003 updates and get failure
notices for:
Security Update for Microsoft Office Excel 2003 (KB951548)
Security Update for Access Snapshot Viewer 2003 (KB955439)
Security Update for Microsoft Office 2003 (KB921598)
Security Update for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 (KB948988)
Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB955434)
Security Update for Microsoft Office Word 2003 (KB954464)
Do the following:
1. Right click My Computer and click Manage from drop down menu
2. Open Sevices and Applications
3. Choose Services
4. Select "Office Source Engine" under Name column and Start the
service if the option is availble [to the left of the column.].
Otherwise, if the service is Disabled right click on it and choose
Properties and then from the tabs choose Recovery. Use the failure
dialogue options to Restart the service.
5. Install the updates again—this time successfully.

Thanks for letting us know about this.
For your future consideration, I would recommend that you reformat and reinstall
all newly purchased machines, so as to avoid this sort of problem. Whatever the
vendors may say, preinstalled software is not a good thing. :-)

Quoting everything the responder allowed to be replicated (because they were
using techarena.in and it's horrible synching/leeching methods) - I can only
ask... What?
