Security Updates for Office 2007 Fail to Install

[codyw]

I have a Windows 7 HP and there are currently 8 updates for my 2007 Office system.

============================
Some updates were not installed

Failed: 8 updates

Error(s) found:
Code 646
============================

How can this be corrected so that the updates will install successfully? :huh:

Hi codyw & welcome,


Have you checked why they were not installed?

1. Via Windows Update > View update history. > double click on the relevant 'Failed' update.

2. Via Event Viewer > Windows logs > Application > Look for red or yellow messages re the failed updates. Double click to read.


Please fill in your System Specs too. [User CP > Your Control panel > Your profile > Edit System Specs.]


Thanks.
Jan.

turn off UAC Disable User Account Control (UAC) the Easy Way on Win 7 or Vista - How-To Geek problem is the All the public updates, security updates, cumulative updates, and hotfixes were released through February 2009.This should solve your problem if you turn of UAC and then install the updates.

that seems to work what Bill2 is saying but i know for a fact that they wil install if you turn off UAC as i had the same problem. Saves you doing it manually
