I am able to install all other updates Microsoft except this one (Office XP (KB2289162)

Thank you for your advice in this thread http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/why-does-security-update-for-microsoft-office-xp/fa6c7729-c772-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5 .  I have Microsoft Office XP Service Pack 3 installed on my coimputer and I am able to install all other updates Microsoft except this one (Office XP (KB2289162).  I tried your suggestion to turn off my antivirus and then install the stand-alone package.  However, it is still impossible to install.  This time, I receieved an error message referring to the lack of permission to make changes in Microsoft Office Small Business Edition (which is the version of Office that I have).  I don't know why this would be the case, since I have never had a problem with update of Microsoft Office in the past.

If you or someone else has other suggestions, I'd appreciate them.

Thank you.
