  Tip: Insert your Office 2007 CD-ROM into the Bay before the next attempt to install appropriate.

  Tip: If no joy, see if you can download the "fullfile" version updates via http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ or http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/ and then manually install / them.

  Tip: If still no joy, make a repair or uninstall/reinstall Office 2007.

  NB: Office 2007 SP2 came out months ago, but you will need to get SP1 installed first. The fact that the nor settled now doesn't bode well for your current installation.

  Good luck!

• Windows Update failed. Get the error code 646.

  I am trying to install windows updates.  Service pack updates and Office (15 updates total office).  Updates download and go through the installation process.  But I got an error code (646) until the installation is complete.  I even tried to install updates at the time and still the same results.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled ofice.  Still a no go.  Help someone who has an answer.  It's really frustrating.

  OK... I had the same problem with the download of the 2007 Microsoft security updates. When I tried to install updates, I receive error 646. I finally solved my problem by going to the Download Center on Microsoft and I install manually.

  Here are the steps that I took... which I think should work:

  (1) go to the Microsoft Download Center: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
  (2) look for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB974234)
  3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run. I think you have to accept an agreement, then click on continue or OK
  4) repeat for all downloads that you can not install
  (5) run Microsoft Update new and click search the updates and if updates have been installed successfully, they should no longer appear in the updates that must be installed.

  I don't know if it is not relevant or if it helped me succeed to install updates manually, but before I manually installed my updates I followed the instructions David_O posted here http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/f3390e74-9961-4aae-8a05-554c1a9cf1a2 . I suggest that first of all try to download manually by following my directions. If it does not, then it's a possibility instructions of David resolved an issue that allowed me to download them manually disable Microsoft downloads site.

  I can't believe all the research and the suggestions of the technicians did not work... sometimes your own research is the best!

  I hope this helps! Good luck!

• Error code: 646 (cannot install updates 8)

  Repeated error codes 646 8 updates security 6/20-6/22.  Please notify me if there is a solution to this problem.

  Here's your alert: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/18449f60-c149-4eaf-b8e6-a2880cd7232b

  Summary of the issue:

  We are aware of a potential problem that you may experience with the latest updates to Office security.   When you install these updates, the Windows Update control panel returns the error 646 or 0 x 80070646.

  Technical details:

  Error 0 x 80070646 or 646 is a MSI installer error that won't happen when the updates are installed via the Windows Update control panel.  Workaround solution previous to solve the immediate problem requires the installation of the update to a standalone package starting from Microsoft Download Center.  We do not recommend this workaround solution.

  If the Windows Installer logging is enabled, the following line must be identified as a symptom:

  Error 1606. Could access the location %APPDATA%\ network

   

  Cause:

  The problem is potentially a result of an incompatible, incorrect environment (%AppData%) as variable shown below:

  Solution:

  1. open the registry editor.  To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit.exe in the list programs. In the user account control dialog box, click on continue.

  2 go to the following registryHKEY_USERS\ keys. DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

   

  3. the correct and should be the default value forAppData % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming. To edit the value, double click on Appdata, then change the string in the value data field.

  4. close the registry editor, and then try Windows Update again. (A restart article be required).

  5. If the problem persists, repeat the steps 2 to 4 with the registry keys:

  ·        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

  ·        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\
