It sounds like your trying to install the tool for cleaning off the blaster
virus. Unfortunatly you have to have MS03-026 or MS03=-039 before this tool
will run. Install those patches first, otherwise the tool would clean it
off and before you could patch yourself you would be infected again. Hope
this helps.

Follow this link to get rid of Blaster:

It also has the link to MS03-039 which supersedes MS03-026.

Greetings --
      If you connected the PC to the Internet without having first
enabled a firewall, without having first installed an antivirus
application with current virus definition files, and before installing
the KB824146 Hotfix, you're very likely to get infected from any of
the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are constantly broadcasting
the Blaster and/or Welchia worms.  It only takes a few seconds of
exposure.
    To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins.  This will abort the shut down.  Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
