  • Windows 7 - error Code: 80070643 (cannot install the Office updates)

    Update KB982158 error 80070643___
    Hi - I'm under Win7 pro with Office 2010 - new brand Toshiba, so not old stuff to get in the way. I tried everything to get the Power Point KB982158 update to load, but get the error code 80070643. Well, I hope that I have tried everything!

    What does work is: try to install manually. unloading and reloading PPt and try to update; tried the 'Fix - it' KB suggested for a similar problem (error different message -0 x 80070646); tried to check the registry keys according to http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/18449f60-c149-4eaf-b8e6-a2880cd7232b - the first two hits are as they are supposed to be, but under local_machine etc. There is no AppData, there is a CommonAppData whose value is % ProgramData

    should I change the value of %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming?

    or I'm far from base, is there another solution? afraid to touch anything without the advice of expert-thank you

    Hello

    You upgrade to Office 2010 or did you do a fresh install?

    KB982158 is an update of security for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. As you have already installed Office 2010, you don't need this update.
    I suggest you remove all components of Office 2007 from the computer, including add-ins for Office 2007 from the control panel
    and see if that fixes the problem.

    Follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, then Control Panel.
    2. click on programs or features.
    From here you can remove office 2007 and its components.

    Refer to this link for help:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    I also want to mention that if you get the same error code when installing other updates, you can then follow the steps in the items listed
    in my previous post. You can perform the steps of Vista on the computer Windows 7 from the first link. Also since the second link may be made
    on a Windows 7 computer.

    You can also post the question in the Forums of Microsoft Office for assistance.

    Microsoft Office Accounting gives only the option to uninstall (reinstall is greyed out).

    I tried to repair Office 2007, but it fails.

    The system is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    I searched high and low but have been unable to find out very useful on error 0 x 80070641.

    I'm starting to think that a repair (or full) install is necessary.

    Help!

    PS:

    It does not help:
    MSIEXEC /Unregister
    MSIEXEc/regserver

    Slaughter of the Windows Installer Service does nothing.
