I added the first Vista client to an SBS 2003, SP1 domain. Until now, all clients were WinXP, SP2. Office 2007 is installed on the XP clients, and the Vista client, which may not be pertinent to this problem.
As is normal, "\\SERVER\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s SERVER" is executed when a user logs on to any domain client. On the Vista client, I always get the dialog -- regardless of the account privilege -- asking for permission to run Setup.exe. It is annoying. Occasionally, the Program Compatiblity Assistant will appear and advise there's a known compatiblity issue with Setup.exe. It points to KB article 926505 for resolution. The title of the KB is, "Windows Small Business Server 2003: Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 compatibility update."
When I run the SBS2003SP1-KB926505-X86-ENU.EXE fix, I get the error: "This update cannot be installed. Either it is already installed as part of an existing service pack, or it requires a more recent service pack. For more information, see the systems requirements on the download page."
Intially, Windows Server 2003 SP2 was installed, but I uninstalled it because of that error message. Reverting back to SP1 did not correct the situation.
I'm officially stuck. Ideas?
Rob B.

you need to install the Ripcurl patch on your SBS 2003 server that's designed to support both Vista workstations and Outlook 2007:

I went through the suggested documentation prior to making my original post here, but read the docs again just to make sure. I also tried again to apply the ripcurl fix, but still have the same error mentioned in my original post
So, for the time being, I have REM'd out the only line in the SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat file (\\server\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s server).
I am uncertain of the impact beyond not getting certain applications (IE6, OL2003) and service packs automatically installed on new clients. Are there any other impacts?

Hello Rob,
Thank you for posting here.
According to your description, I understand that you can not install fix KB926505 on your SBS 2003 and get error message. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Based on my research, KB891193 installation did not complete may relate to that Small Business Server 2003 has been partially updated and may not work properly. I suggest we try the following steps to see if we can resolve this issue:
Please go through the following document to download the 5 parts of SBS 2003 sp1 and install them on the SBS 2003 in turn. Downloading and Installing Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/0/f/e0fee8ce-768d-41c0-8871-9bc48e0b3fc3/ToDownLoadFilesandReadInstructions.htm
Note: The 5 parts:
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Service Pack 1
Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1
Windows XP SP2 for Client Deployment
Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1
Then, try to install the KB891193 again.
If we can not resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please kindly help me collect some information for further investigation:
1. Please capture screenshots on the error messages and send the pictures to me at v-terliuatmicrosoftdotcom
2. Use the MPS report to capture the server configurations for further analysis:
a. Download MPSrepot_network from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd915706/MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE
b. Run MPSRPT_NETWORK.exe on the server box.
c. The tool will automatically collect the information. This procedure will take 10~15 minutes.
d. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder: %SystemRoot%\MPSReports\Network\Reports\Cab\
e. Send the .cab file directly to me at v-terliuatmicrosoftdotcom
Hope these steps will give you some help.
Thanks and have a nice day!

Terence,
For the benefit of all, here are the results:
After selecting the option to display Updates in the Add/Remove Programs list, I saw that KB891193 was already installed. However, KB926505 still would not install as per the previous discussion here.
I opted for a clean, off-line installation, including a reformat of the boot/system drive. Immediately after, I installed the 5 parts of SP1. On the final (5th) step, Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1, the process failed and displayed the following error message:
"Windows Small Business Server Service Pack 1 Setup has encountered an error. For more information, review the most recent entry in the Setup error log in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Integration\Windows Small Business Server 2003\logs\setup.log. Then correct the error and run Service Pack 1 Setup again."
The referenced setup.log contained no hint of any errors, instead showing that everything was successful. I tried re-installing the SP a couple more times with the same result.
I decided to press on and connected to the Internet, letting Windows Update figure out what else was needed. By the time it was through, KB926505 had been installed and, after re-configuring the Vista client for the new domain, have not had a problem with the default SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat file when logging on with a limited user account.
As additional information, prior to the rebuild, the server was running WSUS 3.0, WSS 2, SAV Server, and a 3rd party FTP server (GeneFTP). For now, it's strictly SBS 2003, SP2. I'll try WSS 3 next, but that's for another day. Thank you for your help.
Best,
Rob B.

Hello Rob,
Thank you for kind update.
I'm glad to hear that you can install KB926505 on your SBS, and your Vista client can work fine now.
For the SBS 2003 sp1 installation error, since you do not find any error in the setup log, I think we can ignore this error.
If you still have concern on the SBS 2003 sp1 installation error, please try to create a new thread to get further investigation.
I'd like to make a summary for this post:
Issue:
=============
Can not install hotfix KB926505 on SBS 2003, and get error:
"This update cannot be installed. Either it is already installed as part of an existing service pack, or it requires a more recent service pack. For more information, see the systems requirements on the download page."
Resolutions:
=============
Reinstall SBS 2003 sp1:

Please do not hesitate to post in this great newsgroup if you need any assistance in the future. I look forward to working with you again.
Thank you and have a nice day,
