Cannot install windows update for my computer.
I tried to install the update to windows even to my computer for about two weeks now. But everytime I try, it fails. I received the error code is 646. Available for installation updates are security for microsoft office excel 2003, microsoft office word 2003 security update and update for microsoft office outlook 2003 Junk e-mail Filter update. Can someone please help me solve this problem? Thank you.
Hello Dannypee,
Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forums.
Solution for error 646:
Disable all Firewalls and try to install the updates and the stand-alone installation (download manually).
Reset the Windows Update components
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
Restart the computer after the update is installed.

I can't install any updates for my computer at all, even the window updates is one of the many error messages I receive, Error 1606 could access the location %APPDATA%\ network. How can I fix it?
Hello
This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is inhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.
The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.
WARNING:
Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry.
Here are the steps to fix it.
Step 1:
a. Click Start, click Run, type ""regedit ' in the Open box, and then click OK. "
b. find the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\
c. remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.
Step 2:
886549 KB http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549:
Open Regedit a. once again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point to new, click expandable string value.
b. type the value name that you want to restore (AppData), and then press ENTER.
c. right-click on this value, click modify, type the value in the value data for the value name box and then click OK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.
Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key. If this does not work, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.

Get the error code 641, cannot install Windows updates.
Reluctant to do a reinstall of windows. I had the same problem, find the same useless information on a cure. I did a reinstall of windows (Vista) and partially by installing the updates of windows I ran into the same problem again, the windows installer does not. Even from scratch will get not anywhere, leaving you at least your system as it stands leaves can be used instead of a partially updated with no program system.
