Code 646 in updates

All of tuesday's update went thru accept, Microsoft Office Visio Viewer 2007
(KB973709), Office system (KB972581) and Office system (KB974234).
I keep getting Code 646.
I have tried a few things I found thru windows help boards but nothing works,
please help.
I am running Windows Vista Home premium 32bit and
Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007
--
gmb

 

Glenn, did you find a solution. I keep getting the same message. Also, I get
code 643. I am very computer stupid, so I don't understand a lot of the
language. And it keeps wanting me to update, over and over. I click to
update, it says it is doing it, but then my computer restarts, and asks me to
update again. I have been doing this for HOURS. Can you help. I really need
step, by step instructions.

Have you tried inserting your Office 2007 CD into the appropriate drive bay
before attempting to install the updates again?

I've been getting the 646 error on all most all of my updates for the past
week or so. I can click on "review your update history" and then click on
each one and manually download and install them (which works) but with as
many updates as Microsoft puts out, this is not a viable solution.

I'm having the same problem. Updates a few days ago went thru fine. I can not
get these 3 updates to update at all. Hope someone figures this out!

My PC won't install these latest updates and I too get the code 646 error
msg. Could it have anything to do with not having the new IE8 installed?
Anyway, now I do not know how to shut the update icon down (bottom right
corner) it is constantly telling me I have new updates to install. DUH! I
know that, but they will not install. I hope someone finds a solution to this
problem.

It has nothing to do with not havingIE8 installed, because I do and am having
the same problems.

d.duffer ,I thank it is something with the upgrade of Explorer 8, Reasons:Iam
running Secunia PSI and it said that I had a 90 something secure and upgrade
rate one of the highest for the whole state of KY... But that was before I
tried to download an option of Internet Explorer 8 and then I now have the
following unsecure programs 1. Ask toolbar 4x...2. Microsoft Internet
Explorer 8....3. Real Player 11...My computer come with Vista Home
Premium,and I am now running the Windows 7 Beta test... Which after
researching thought Micrsoft Internet 8 had even more componets as well as
some more new features is the only reason I tried it "What a big mistake that
was"....

hey Duffer,i upgraded awhile ago for IE #8, i dont think it has anything to
do with IE#8,this started happening to me as of yesterday and i haven't
downloaded IE.My problem is i tried alot of fixes suggested including MS's
site and none seem to be working for me.I also cannot get rid of the yellow
shield showing updates.I am wondering whether it is necessary to TURN OFF WIN
updates first and then try the fixes and then rebooting.It seesm to me that i
tried that one too and still no success.If anyone had any idea of what the
heck the fix is in plain simple steps,we would appreciate a stepby step fix
bigalster on verge of nervous breakdown...

Hello, Sirs

I am located in Taiwan. I had met the same problem (error 646) when I make
the windows undate. So I trust the problem that is from Microsoft. I hope the
Microsoft that can solve the problem soon.

I am w/bigalaster on this one. I too have said in several posts, if anyone
has just plain language (not computer lingo, there are still a few of us out
here who have no idean what you mean) step by step instruction that work,
please tell us. I am getting to the point where I just want to unplug the
computer and protect it that way. Is Microsoft even reading these posts? My
gosh, you would think they could see that there are a ton of problems w/these
latest update installations. They should fix then send a mass email to those
of us who have windows that the problem is fixed now try it. Oh and does
anyone know if Microsoft even has a ph.#. I know that sounds like a silly
question, but I cannot find one. I am getting no answer or help online. Sorry
this is so long.

TracyLee, why do you think Bill Gates is the richest man in the world? You
try calling Microsoft and they turn on the good ole taxi meter,they do
nothing for free,none of us do or would,but the issue here is that MS
controls the computer world,they devised the software,they should notify and
present fixes if their installation updates don't work,which is the case
here.Maybe some conscientiousness MS manager will take pity on us fools and
post a easy,step by step fix.
