When using automatic update I have error Code 646 for all update 2007 office
Whenever I'm going to update office 2007 using updat auto I get the error code 646. I have to have to review the updates and goto discovers each separately to update and install them one at a time. How to return to the installation of automatic update, so I did not install them one at a time?
1. maybe repair or reinstall Office 2007. You will need your product key and the original installation media.
2. try to install the updates with the media in the drive of original installation.
I think it's because of a registry problem that keeps this error for specific products that is why I proposed the repair/reinstallation of office.

Manually download the files to a location on your hard drive, you can locate and manually install the same.
FYI - http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?Refinement=112&query=646
It was a common problem.
Windows 7 - if that always creates a problem, then try to disable User Account Control first download before the update manually. See: (Guided Help: settings to adjust user account control in Windows 7):

Error code 646 with Office updates
code 646 error when you perform windows for vista was last updated to solve a security problem with office 2003 and set the junk e-mail filter.

To get updates Office installed when you receive the error 646, usually download and install them manually will work. Look at your history of update and get the KB # updates failed. Then, go to the Microsoft Download Center, search the KB # and then you download the file to your PC. Then, simply double-click the file to run it.If it is possible to have any type of infection so I suggest that you take a look at these links:

I tried to download the RegCure as advised, but the problem still exists...
Who advised you to 'download... '. RegCure? Doing so could only worse issues! If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, boosted or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

Vista - Error Code: 646 (cannot install the update of Office KB2288613)
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. I tried to install manually; run this FixIt:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2258121 restarted and tried to install. and also disabled UAC, rebooted and tried to install, but without success.
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?
The following article:... has this:Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.
Can download, save and try to install manually:

How to ask Questions the Smart way
http://www.CatB.org/~ESR/FAQs/smart-questions.html -
I have a laptop running Windows 7 for x 64 bit. Whenever I try to install an update to security for Microsoft Office System2007 or any program that is, I get the error code 646. Everything else seems to be updated. It's really aggravating because when I will shut down my computer, I have to wait until the updates are installed before it stops, but then when I turn it back on and turn it off again, he always says I have to install the same updates to day when I finally stopped and I still have to wait until they are installed. It's a never-ending cycle. What the heck is wrong with Microsoft Office that makes it to where everyone seems to have the same problems? Don't you think that this problem must be corrected instead of simply suggest to download manually? Download manually takes too much time and honestly makes no sense. What is the point of having Windows Update if anyone seems to have manually make updates of Microsoft Office?
Hi baby Deanna.
Download the updates manually would let us know what update is causing the problem and that's when we suggest the user to try because it could limit the question.
Mention updates with which you are having problems with.
Step 1:
I see that many users have encountered this problem and they were able to install the updates successfully by disabling the User Account Control [UAC].First disable user account control before installing updates.
Access the link for more information below how to turn user account control on or off:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows7/turn-user-account-control-on-or-off
Note: Enable UAC once the diagnosis is made.
Step 2:
If you still experience the problem, run utility of Windows update that might help us diagnose the problem better.Access the link for more information about the Windows Update troubleshooting tool below:

Update error code 646 and home office edition 2007
Hello, I am unable to down load updates from my home editon of microsoft office 2007 and I get an error code 646 failed down charges are consistent with the other members on the forum, Help compalints!
I get the same error and it took me a while to find a way to remedy. I don't know if it works for you, but I had to go to user accounts and disable user account control. Control of this account was preventing the update to settle. Alternatively, you can manually install the updates if you do not want to disable user account control.
To disable it go to start - Control Panel - user accounts.
