• Vista - Error Code: 646 (Microsoft Office 2007 updates)

  I was warned by Windows Update I got Microsoft Office 6 "Major updates" dealing with security to download and install.  I am running Vista Home Premium operating system.

  6 updates are listed here:

  (1) security Update for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (KB982308)

  (2) security Update for Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 (KB979441)

  (3) update for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 (KB982158)

  (4) update for Microsoft Office Word 2007 (KB982135)

  (5) security update for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB982312)

  (6) security Update for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB982331)

  Updates download successfully.  It seems that they are installed correctly, 1 first 6, then 2 of 6, etc..   At the end of the process, I get a message that "some updates were not installed."  In fact, none of the 6 were installed.   Then I get an error message:

  Code 646: Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

  9 results for "WindowsUpdate_00000646" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

  1.	1 Windows Update error 80072efd
  2.	2 problems with installing updates
  3.	3 error code Windows Update 80070422, 80244019, or 8DDD0018

  7.	7 Windows Update, error 8024001
  8.	8 Windows Update error 800f020b
  9.	9 Windows Update error 800f0828

  I have gone through each of them and tried to perform the actions suggested without success.

  I also tried downloading/installation these one by one, without success.

  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\

Another diagnosis did not work and I am never asked to accept the terms. have tried several times. Sometimes my computer talk to me in Chinese because I often use in China, but do not know if this has something to do with it.

  code 646 error when you perform windows for vista was last updated to solve a security problem with office 2003 and set the junk e-mail filter. Another diagnosis did not work and I am never asked to accept the terms.

  chinaivd,
  To get updates Office installed when you receive the error 646, usually download and install them manually will work.  Look at your history of update and get the KB # updates failed.  Then, go to the Microsoft Download Center, search the KB # and then you download the file to your PC.  Then, simply double-click the file to run it.

  If it is possible to have any type of infection so I suggest that you take a look at these links:
