  • Vista - Error Code: 646 (Microsoft Office 2007 updates)

    I was warned by Windows Update I got Microsoft Office 6 "Major updates" dealing with security to download and install.  I am running Vista Home Premium operating system.

    6 updates are listed here:

    Updates download successfully.  It seems that they are installed correctly, 1 first 6, then 2 of 6, etc..   At the end of the process, I get a message that "some updates were not installed."  In fact, none of the 6 were installed.   Then I get an error message:

  • I get the error code 646 when trying to install 2 very important updates. Also pdf files and others are missing from the registry.

    RPDF files missing.never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas: pdf files are missing and error 646

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    during the installation of updates and some extensions files cannot be opened.  Also when you do e-mail or any continuous strike moving cursor then have to keep changing the typing.  Error 646 present during updates.

  • Error code 646 for Windows Microsoft Office Update.

    I have Microsoft Office 2007, and for weeks now Windows Update is not able to update the necessary updates. Error code 646 appears after updates fail, but all of the other Windows updates work very well but these Microsoft Office simply don't work and it happened for weeks. I searched for answers, but all lead to dead ends. Help!

  • 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!
