    Error code for SP3 2007 Office


    I thought I had put a thread in re this error in the pic but perhaps not.

    I have had Microsoft suggest four different "fixes" none of which work and this thing is pestering me to install SP3 for Office 2007 Home & Student and frankly I am getting pretty irritated at downloading thinking a subsequent updates might have unblocked it but no it is still there.

    Any ideas please?

    Download: The 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 3 (SP3) - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details
    Download the offline installer, and use that -
    If it doesn't install, what exact error message do you get?


    If it does install, then do a check for updates, and see what's found.

    Yeah Noel done that one already and plus those other "fixes" that the Microsoft site suggested it just will not download and install - more importantly - vie a straight update or saving it and then installing.
    here is one reply
    Method 1: Run the fix-it from the article mentioned below:
    Fix the problem with Microsoft Windows Update that is not working:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/


    Method 2: Temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and then try to install the update.


    Disable antivirus software


    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Disable-antivirus-software


    Important Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.


    Method 3: If that does not help, I would recommend you to place the computer in clean boot state, download the standalone version of the Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 3, and then try to install and see if that helps.

    Step 1:


    Clean Boot:
    Refer:


    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135


    Note: After troubleshooting, make sure to put the computer to start as usual as mentioned in Step 7 from the above KB article.
    Step 2:
    Download from here:
    The 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 3 (SP3):
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27838

    You may also refer:
    Troubleshoot problems with installing updates:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Troubleshoot-problems-with-installing-updates

    and there were others to follow.
    To be honest I don't know what to do uninstall the wretched software and get a freebie as I don't use it that much as long as my already made up docs transfer and can be opened in basically the same format.
    The only thing stopping me do that right away is that I paid for thee M$ stuff and begrudge having to do that.
    I have the SP3 saved in downloads just in case something comes up but I can only hold my breath for so long

    You could always uninstall Oddice completely, run the cleanup tool, and then reinstall it - and update that.
    I take it that other updates are being propery installed?~

    Yeah Noel that sounds a good option and see what happen. The other updates are no problem.

    Thanks mate I'll do that as it couldn't be any more irritating than having that darn reminder all the time.

    Hey I might even uninstall Office too

    Nope Noel the thing is still sitting there like a bad smell - I uninstalled it with Revo too and ran CC and checked reg entires for software remnants
    So I don't know I'll just have to get back onto Microsoft again as it is getting ridiculous

    Err no mate I just ran the Revo as it has always tended to pick up left over reg entries I'll do it from Control Panel then CC then checked in regedit for stuff manually.

    I'll do it from Control Panel then, won't take long.

    Well I did it from Control Panel and it uninstalled and then I reinatsalled it but didn't click go on line bit I just closed it.

    Now SP3 has downloaded and installed so was my mistake going online with that last bit of the est up or was Revo not uninstalling properly.

    I checked in rededit before I did the reinstall and there were software entries for Office in the HKEYs for current user & local machine - so I have no idea what the heck is going on. Like I said the only thing I did not do was go online when I reinstalled!
