  Try to download and install manually by download on your desktop and install them one by one. Insert the number of KB to get updates on the right and choose the one corresponding to your version of Vista:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.  If the error persists, temporariliy disable UAChttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-user-account-control-uac-the-easy-way-on-windows-vista/ and your security software and try again and see if that helps.  If this isn't the case, re-enable the programs before you continue.

• Update of MS for KB951550 KB951944 | Error code 646

  I did a search for updates, came through with the update of security for Microsoft Office 2007 (KB951550) ran the installation error code 646, manually attended the MS download, download ran and said: Version not found on the system. The result was the same for: update of security for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB951944).

  For the 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2), it failed in the automatic, downloaded manually update, said: already installed. So if it is already installed, why he shows in the 'need to update'?

  I had to do a total uninstall, then reinstall and download the updates manually. Thanks for your help.

  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!
