Windows 7 - Updates not installing.
Asked By Kipper
17-Nov-09 11:22 AM
I am running Windows Vista Home edition and Office 2007. The following
updates
KB 975960, KB 974561, KB 973704, KB 973593 and KB 973636 have downloaded
to my computer but will not install. Each time I switch they try to install
but then I get message saying that they failed to install. I have searched
high and low for some answers and tried all sorts of remedy's suggested by
people trying to help but nothing seems to work. I have even tried to
contact microsoft, but I ended up going round in circles and ending up where
I started without having achieved anything. Can anyone help please?
Bill replied to MowGreen
After many attempts at resolving this problem I came across yet another idea
in the social forums from NYintelligentinvestor, although I have Office 2003
Professional.

Microsoft 2007. When I tried to install the updates I would receive Error
646. I finally resolved my issue by going to Microsoft's download center and
manually installing myself.
Here are the steps I took...which I believe should work:
1) Go to Microsoft's Download Center:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
2) Search each update code which starts with the letters "KB" and followed
by a set of numbers (i.e, KB974234)
3) Click the link for the download and then click download and run. I
believe you will have to accept an agreement and then click continue or okay
4) Repeat for all the downloads that you are unable to install
5) Run Microsoft update again and click on check for updates and if the
updates were successfully installed they should no longer appear in the
updates that need to be installed.
..............
work.....sometimes your own research is the best! "
End of quote
As (s)he also says - hope it works for you.
Of course it does not answer the question as to why the updates failed in
the first place.

Kipper replied to MowGreen
I get the same error code for all of them - 646. Sorry I meant to ut that
in the original message. I will try going to the Microsoft Download Centre
as Bill suggests.
MowGreen replied to Kipper
Yep, do as Bill suggested. Other folks with the 646 error were able to
resolve it by doing a manual download and installation of the
problematic updates.

I am also having trouble installing KB973704. My computer is set to receive
automatic updates and has worked fine previously. The notification icon for
new updates appears in the icon tray but the update will not install. An
error message staes: "The detection failed. The installation database may
be corrupted". I have tried installing manually from the update website to
no avail.???

Windows 7 Windows 2003 and can't install update 931836, suspect its because Okay I have spent like two days on and off trying to figure this out and I am just going to have to ask Microsoft themself now (or whoever else posts). I have Windows Server 2003 and also we have SUS 3.0. I cannot get update 931836 installed. I see that 914961 which is self described as Service Pack 2 is that 931836 is only for XP and won't work (maybe) on 2003 even though microsoft says its for 2003. If anyone knows what to do about this I would greatly give me. Heather [Okay I am going to like forward your post to the proper newsgroup (microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services). . .] OK, first point: update 931836 is out of date. You
