I receive windows update error code 646 on two important updates for windows 7.
I tried to update manually, nothing helps. My windows update icon remains with the same updates, and he tells me that updates could not be installed. Help, please. the updates in question are 981433 KB and KB 981715. I don't know what to do. Need help. Thanks for any help.
As manually downloading and trying to install updates did not get the expected result, so I suggest that you consider now reinstall/repair Office 2007.
You will need your product key and the original installation media to repair/reinstall Office 2007.
On the other hand if you just did a manual scan for updates and didn't actually download them yourself from the Download Center and try to install it even, you will find them here:
http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/results.aspx?FREETEXT=KB981715&displaylang=en&sType=s_basic
http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/results.aspx?FREETEXT=KB981433&displaylang=en&sType=s_basic
By downloading and installing manually, we actually manually download the updates to a location on your hard drive where you can find and then manually install the updates.

There could be various reasons for the updates to fail. No matter what security software installed on the computer may crash or services related to the programs installed on the computer. Also if there are corruptions in the files\folders related to Windows updates.
Reset update components would actually try fixing the part of corruption by recreating these files and also to re-register the files necessary .dll (Dynamic Link Library).
