Error code 646: Windows Vista re Office 2007 SP 2 through Windows Update
I am running Vista Home Premium, SP1, 32-bit. Office 2007 SP1 is installed.
I've restored an Office 2007 SP2 hidden (and almost forgotten) update. Failed twice. The error code is 646.
Since the update wouldn't install and just sitting there, looking at me with a big red FAIL on it, I hid it again. Please let me know if there is a procedure to follow?
BTW, I ran into the same problems that other posters have recently that some updates installs successfully through Windows Update, others I had to install directly on the Microsoft site. Once the updates have been installed manually, of course, they were not offered by Windows Update.
Should I give the Office 2007 SP2 a whirl and try to install directly from the MS Download page, or is there something else I should do/check before this attempt?
Thanks in advance!
Download Office SP2 on the download site and try to install manually.
