You have 32 bit or 64 bit Vista?
See if this Microsoft FixIt helps:
Code error '0 x 80070646', '646', or '1606' when you try to install the Office updates
You can also try temporarily Disabling UAC (via Control Panel-> user accounts control) and your component ofactive protection of the VA during the download and install fo updates selective and then the reactivation of these functions in the future.

More than 100 microsoft security updates should I this
Have more than 100 microsoft security updates do I need all these also have the service pack 2 & 3 also
To add to what MakerDusk recommends, after applying all updates, you will need to run the updates again, as some are prerequisites to others. Keep running it until you don't have any more than you need to add.
I hope this helps.

Do I need to install Microsoft Security Update KB2925418
I ran Belarc Advisor and received a message saying "Microsoft Security Update (KB2925418) is missing from my computer, and because it is 'essential' I need to update now. I have my system automatically updated the Microsoft updates. Despite this, I checked the updates of Microsoft a few minutes ago on my desktop and I got a message saying that my computer is up to date. However, I can't update security KB2925418 in my 'update of the story". I need to locate the update security Microsoft KB2925418 on the Microsoft Web site and install it on my computer or y at - it a more recent update which overrides KB2925418, and, so, I did not need to install it?

The update of this article has been replaced by a new update. We recommend that you install the most recent cumulative security for Internet Explorer update.
The update is no longer relevant and has been replaced.
If WU says that it is up-to-date, then most likely, it is.

HOW DO WE INSTALL UPDATES WHEN THEY KEEP CONTINUALLY FAIL?

I received an error message for the updates following security KB982135, 983486 Ko, KB982124, KB982158, KB979441, KB982308 and KB982312. I have tried three times to install the updates, but get the error message.
If you have problems with updates Office try disconnected from the internet and installing updates. If that fails, then try to manually download the updates and install.
You can search the individual updates here:
http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspxHe just put in the KB number and then perform a search.
If this still creates a problem, disconnect from the internet and then try to install updates, and another thing you can try is turn off UAC before downloading a first update manually. See: (Guided Help: settings to adjust user account control in Windows 7):

I bought my XP Home Edition in 2006. I use it as a second laptop, so it is great for any e-mail, internet and a desk job.
As the C drive is too full here have already deleted more programs and files, but it is always full.
Especially with Microdoft security updates.
Is it possible to remove those between e year after installation and last year?
And how? Because, under the program, check and delete programs, these updates cannot not be asupprimer.
Thank you and best regards!

You can create more free space in C by
carrying one of the measures suggested below.

A parameter that might be useless by default is that for temporary internet
files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. The
default allocation is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude offline
you could bring this to 1% or 2% of the copies. In Internet Explorer, select

Error code 80070008 after downloading Microsoft Security Update KB2479943
I have downloaded Microsoft Windows KB2479943 update security for Windows XP on my Asus Eee PC yesterday. This update downloads OK, but fails to install with error Ox80070008 code. I tried to download again several times, but with the same result. Can someone please help? Thank you.
Thanks a lot for your answer. In fact, the problem has been resolved by following some instructions provided by Support of Microsoft Update, as follows: -.
Rename the Windows Update Software distribution folder
================================================
A possible cause is that the temporary folder of Windows Update contains corrupted files. This step will clean up its "Download", which contains the updated Windows Update downloaded installation files. After you rename this folder, all the files will be automatically recreated, except the history of Windows Update and downloaded data updates installation files. This will have no negative effect on the performance of your computer.1. click on 'Start', 'Run', type: 'Cmd' (without the quotes) and press "enter." In the command window, type "net stop WuAuServ" (without the quotes) and press "Enter."
2. click on 'Start', 'Run', type: '%windir%' (without the quotes) and press "Enter."
3. right click on the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and choose 'Rename', type SDOLD as the new name.
4. click on 'Start', 'Run', type: 'Cmd' (without the quotes) and press "enter." In the command window, type "net start WuAuServ" (without the quotes) and press "Enter."
Note: This folder will be created automatically after the automatic updates service starts. Historical Windows Update only will be lost. To verify the update is necessary, then I suggest you check the updates on the Update Web site.
Maybe this information will be useful to others. Thank you & best wishes.

Have a few old computers that have not kept, what about Windows updates. Get messages on the validatiy of the operating system. What gives? Don't think that it's the fee for customers of the Windows based software to have to go to such extremes to solve problems that seem to be with your automated systems, rather than having a real person to get in touch with fees. I'm kinda a 'grumpy' working with computers for 30 years fortish. You couldn't have if wait for an owner of a turned have mechanical abilities, or too take the vehicle in the workshop every time there's a minor problem. As a wise person tech I find it ridiculous to spend hours trying to solve the problems that wouldn't exist in the first place.

Are updates necessary security when I run Norton Antivirus?
Yes, you need both.
Updates to close vulnerabilities in the system of Windows OS (& other Microsoft programs). Programs such as Norton to prevent you get viruses - for example by downloading or via a USB flash drive.
You should also check that you have a firewall in place as well.
