error 80200053

I've upgraded to Windows 7 only recently after recurring problems with Windows updates. I use Microsoft Office 2007 Student version and some updates are not installed constantly:

Viewer PowerPoint 2007 SP2

Microsoft Office Suite SP2

Microsoft Office Compatibility SP2

Error code 80200053

I have validated my version of Microsoft Office.

I have run the fix it tool.

I tried clean reboot.

I tried to manually download the SP2 for Office.

Everything I try I always get the message of the unknown Publisher and the installation isn't even start or fails in the middle of the process.

I don't know if it's related, but at the same time I have problems with liveupdate for Norton Internet Security 2010 omitting all two days. Symantec technical support spent hours trying to reinstall NIS, they sent me a disc that I install, after that 2 days Liveupdate has not yet the end. Symantec say it's because the Windows updates fail?

I had exactly the same problems with Vista for 3 months, there is no solution. After picking up a virus that took over the computer completely, in final desperation, I decided to upgrade to Windows 7. And I'm going again with problems.

Could someone please suggest a solution? I contacted Microsoft technical support by e-mail, and they sent the standard "search for a solution here and there" answer.

Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation option" and formatting the hard drive section of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

Note: If the computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install. If you need more assistance, expert in this forum can help you: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/threads

Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before otherwise connect the machine to the internet or a local network (i.e. other computers) and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

NB: The free trial Norton which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the Norton Removal Tool before installing any updates and before installing your new anti-virus application.

Speaking of which, I can recommend that you install Microsoft Security Essentials (free) as your new application anti-virus/anti-spyware: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx

Alternatively, once again the PCWorld computer and request a full refund... so take your business elsewhere (e.g., http://dell.com).
