You don't mention what operating system you have, but you might try using
the LISTool to delete any remnants of the Local Installation Source
(MSOCache). This should let you use your original Office 2003 media to
uninstall/reinstall and patch like a mad hatter.

I have been getting script error messages in outlook 2003. I tried to run
the
detect and repair, setting everything to default settings. The error
messages
I get Reads"The installation source for this product is not available.Verify
source exists and that you can access it." Now I can't even open Outlook
anymore. The program states "The operation failed due to an installation
problem. Restart Outlook and try again. If the problem persists, please
reinstall." When try to run the Office 2003 the auto run goes directly to
the
cd directory and displays its contents. Any suggestions? Schreiner at
