Note: I am not one of the gurus at figuring out installation problems!
To me, those errors sound like there's something messed up in your game
installation: wrong version of a file, incorrect entry in the registry, or
something like that. End result the patch program can't update the game
properly, and you're left with the older version.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My first suggestion would be to try doing a 'repair' of your Morrowind
installation.
1. Backup your saved games and any installed mods first, just in case.
This shouldn't hurt your saves, etc. but better to be safe.
2. Start the game, then choose the 'Uninstall' option on the very first
menu. This will NOT automatically uninstall the game! (I was nervous the
first time I tried that option.)
3. The 'InstallShield Wizard will run for a second, then you'll see a pane
with three choices: Modify, Repair, and Remove.
4. Choose 'Repair' and follow the prompts.
That might be enough to fix the problem; try reinstalling the patch again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If that doesn't work, then my only other idea would be to uninstall and
reinstall the game to see if that fixes whatever is wrong.
Sorry...
Remember to back up saved games and mods first.

If my ideas don't work and you don't get any good ideas here, there are some
more knowledgeable people in the 'Hardware and Software Issues Forum' on
Bethesda's TES web site,
<http://www.elderscrolls.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php>. If you haven't
registered, you'll need to create a login before posting.
Note: those forums are slow; the servers seem overwhelmed. It may take a
minute or two for forum pages to open up.
You could also check out the Support section of Bethesda's main web site, at
<http://support.bethsoft.com/>. Look under 'Tribunal', on the drop down
list; that has some suggestions for troubleshooting installation and
patching problems.
