Office 2007 Patch

I need to isntall a patch for office 2007 standard. office2007-kb2584063-fullfile-x86-glb.exe

However, everytime i run the installer it says:
"Please wait while detection is being run" After several seconds it comes back with:
The Detection failed, this can be due to a corrupted installation database.

Any ideas?

Do you already have Office 2k7 Sp2 installed? If not, then you'll need to install this prior to installing that update.

I gave up! nothing seemed to work. I couldn't repair so I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling. Then it allowed me to apply all updates including SP3.

Thanks for the help though.
