How to fix error 80070641 and 641?

To the right,.

I have a few annoying problems with windows Vista [to know, update and install]. Whenever I try to install ANY update, it [windows update] fails and spits out 2 641 and 80070641 error codes.
Which is annoying, is that most of the errors is failures of installation for MS Office 2007 and 2003 features [I do not use any that OpenOffice is used]. I tried to uninstall using the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel and the walkthrough [which includes the removal of keys from registry and iinstaller module, but in vain.
I tried to stop and start the Windows update service, nothing helps.
I tried to re-register the DLLs, nothing helps.

There is no work around for this problem?

Advice or assistance which may be made will be VERY appreciated [in other words, help me, please and thank you!]

Hello Not_Richard_B_Riddick,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

Please provide us with more information.

(a) may I know what updates fail?

I suggest you to check the updates are at the origin of the problem. Please check in windows update history to verify.

Click Start > type of search box in windows update > windows update-click > click View history of update (left) and search for updates.

I would say as reset you windows update components and then try to install updates and check if that helps you.
