Setup KB967044 error; I get the error code 646 in automatic and manual update update fails so
I tried to install KB967044 for Microsoft Works 9. Like others, I get the error code 646 for the automatic update. I tried to manually install, but installation requires the CD of Microsoft Works. Now, Works has been installed at the factory, and I do not think that the CD that came with the computer. In any case, I was unable to find such a CD. Disable my firewall has not changed the problem. I use Vista.
Thank you for your help.Contact the manufacturer of your PC to get the drives concerned etc..
If the update requires the CD and then the CD. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services

The program that I have problems with, install my updates, they moved it and I get an error code 646 #. I tried to fallow the guide to fixing the problems to solve the problem though, everything I've read and tried did not work! I have plenty of room for my memory and now I'm stuck! In addition, my adapter from microsoft IATAP #5 Root\ ISATAP\0007; Microsoft IATAP adapter #7 Root\ISATAP\0008 and IATAP microsoft adapter 9 # 0011 Root\ISATAP\ these 3 devices not working properly because windows cannot load the driver for this device, and I don't have a clue on what and how to solve this problem at all. "Were the changes that I made, I started using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3 for my internet conection and I installed two programs (1) speed of Uniblue SN 2009 and (2) Uniblue Registry Booster 2010 both programs are by Uniblue Systems. CTA Neather program worked as they said that if I uninstslled them and after that there about 2 weeks later I noticed that my updates of the program did not work. , or if these device IATAP drivers worked! I tried the system repair and recovery, which also does not solve the problem. I have a Toshiba Satellite A215 laptop 2.00 GB and my OS is; Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, Patch level; Service Pack 2. I'd appreciate any help to fix these problems that I'm having with these programs and drivers, I know just enough about computers to really screw things. Please I need a step by step instruction.
Thank you

I had to disable the "User Account Control" (UAC), which allows you to run as administrator in Vista. After that I turned it off, all 4 of these updates installed and it doesn't require manual installation. Follow these steps:
In the case of Vista view:
1.) go to start; Control Panel; "User accounts and family safety"; User accounts.
2.) click on 'Enable user account control or disable' (last point on the page)
3.) clear the checkbox "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer" and click "OK."
4.) restart the computer, and then run the installation of the system and they work.If you are in Classic view:
1.) go to start; Control Panel; Security Center
2 screen.) in the "Windows Security Center", go to the last item "User Account Control" and click the button to turn off.You can also see the security shield in your Start menu. You can also access the UAC via this.
After that the installation of the system have been updated, make sure that you go back and turn the UAC "" and then restart your computer so that unauthorized updates do not occur. Always try this turn off if install doesn't work.

Windows Update failed. Get the error code 646.
I am trying to install windows updates. Service pack updates and Office (15 updates total office). Updates download and go through the installation process. But I got an error code (646) until the installation is complete. I even tried to install updates at the time and still the same results. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ofice. Still a no go. Help someone who has an answer. It's really frustrating.
OK... I had the same problem with the download of the 2007 Microsoft security updates. When I tried to install updates, I receive error 646. I finally solved my problem by going to the Download Center on Microsoft and I install manually.
Here are the steps that I took... which I think should work:
(1) go to the Microsoft Download Center: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
(2) look for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB974234)
3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run. I think you have to accept an agreement, then click on continue or OK
4) repeat for all downloads that you can not install
(5) run Microsoft Update new and click search the updates and if updates have been installed successfully, they should no longer appear in the updates that must be installed.I don't know if it is not relevant or if it helped me succeed to install updates manually, but before I manually installed my updates I followed the instructions David_O posted here http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/f3390e74-9961-4aae-8a05-554c1a9cf1a2 . I suggest that first of all try to download manually by following my directions. If it does not, then it's a possibility instructions of David resolved an issue that allowed me to download them manually disable Microsoft downloads site.
I can't believe all the research and the suggestions of the technicians did not work... sometimes your own research is the best!
I hope this helps! Good luck!
