Error code 646 is very popular!
I seem to be among a large group who can't get their updates installed. I get a message that failed w/error number 646. Help, please!
Have you tried one of the workarounds, for example -
1 disconnect from the internet and see if you can install the updates.
If this isn't the case-
2. try to manually download the same and install.
You can search the individual updates here:
http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
He just put in the KB number and then perform a search.
3. If this still creates one problem the other thing, you can try is to disable user account control first download before the update manually. See: (Guided Help: settings to adjust user account control in Windows 7):

More information:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/974234Help and Support:
http://support.Microsoft.com/?ln=en-usOK... 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!
