I have Microsoft Project Professional 2003 installed (11.2.2005.1801.15, SP2).

I have been trying to open a MPP file created in a newer version so need the converter, which is part of SP3. But when I try to install the SP3 package (as downloaded from Microsoft's site) I get an error message box:

---------------------------
Project 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3)
---------------------------
The expected version of the product was not found on your system.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Project (and Office) are licensed and otherwise work correctly.

Any advice?
