Office XP Update Problem

I have Office XP that I want to use on my newly built home computer. I have XP Professional Corp. Edition as my OS. When I try to apply the service pack for XP Office it fails out and gives me the error message 1328. I went to Microsoft's web site and this is what I find:

Now Maybe I am just thick, but after reading the fix I still do not understand what it is that I have to do to make this work.
Could somebody translate for me?????
Please.
BTW both this and the OS are both legit non-warez programs.

Thanks!! Microsoft Artical
 
"To resolve this problem and install SP-1, you must purchase a retail edition of Microsoft Office XP (which displays an Office hologram). Only a retail version of Office XP can be updated. Beta or unreleased versions cannot be updated to SP-1. "


Maybe your version of OfficeXP is a prerelease version.
Check the cd for clues.
Beta version, version #, etc., part # ?
:frown:

Where did you get your copy of OfficeXP ?
 
Oops! I posted the wrong link (now corrected). Sorry 'bout that.
Thanks for the reply.
Nope, this is 100% USDA Legit. The problem stems from (I think) from the fact it is a corporate edition (no registration required). Microsoft is anticipating that this instalation will be in administered network environment; not on a stand-alone.

I was getting this same error for a while, actually, running Office XP Pro on Win XP Pro (retail). I downloaded several of the hotfixes individually from microsoft.com/office, applied them, and then was able to apply the service pack (it crashed a couple of times, but got farther each time and now I think it's fully applied). Not the best way to get it done, but it worked 🙂. Might be worth a try.
 
i only asked about the domain 'cause maybe then office would want to pull the software down through the domain... i have no idea why, but stranger things have happened.
