Error code 646 when installing the automatic/important updates for Windows Vista (with Service Pack 2)
Recently, I received 646 error code when you try to install the important/automatic updates to Windows Vista. What patches are there for this issue? What risks are there to do not overcome this problem?
rivercitylady,
Usually with the code 646 error, if you download the update and install it manually that will fix the problem.
Go to the Microsoft Download Center and search for the number of the update has failed. Download on your PC, then run it from there. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

Have you tried the standalone version of the software update and run the tool. Now it's time to check if something is the cause of the problem for example security applications or other programs.

I have a lot of disk space and tried to repeat the time where there are no installation. I use wireless which is a power connection (seems to be the specific network), but connect to the internet using the cable has not solved the problem either. Help, please. Thanks for your time.

You can perform a clean boot state.
A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

Hi, Windows Update advises me to install this hotfix. I have Vista and MS Office 2007. Whenever I try to install KB2288613 error code 646.

However, if I have MS Office 2007 and not MS Office 2003 I really need this patch and if not, why am I being advised to install it?
