I have the same freaking thing!! I have gone to the point that I have
totally uninstalled and reinstalled office 2007 home and student on
windows vista basic system. I have tried installing them singly with
no results. I am able to update everything except office 2007. I
would sincerely appreciate help before this poor little laptop goes
flying through the air. There has to be an easy solution here.
Some please help

 

Has anyone come up with a solution? I'm having the same problems with
KB973709, KB972581 and KB974234

<cmd_output OS="XPsp3
E:\>set /a c = 0x646
1606
E:\>net helpmsg %c%

Feature ID not registered.
</cmd_output>

I think you're going to have to figure out what "Feature ID"
is being referenced here. Search any files that the update
creates or modifies as if they were diagnostic files, looking for
instances of 646 and 1606 and report their context.

BTW please figure out how to stop Google Groups from making
your replies come as if they were HTML (Quoted Printable).
Plain text is preferred in newsgroups.

i have found a way to download these updates, go to the download center,
individually type in the updates code starting with KB and download them one
at a time, it should fix the problem, it worked for me.

So what you are saying is the solution given several times over...

Install the updates manually.

It's not a solution, but a work around. Most who are having trouble and do
this work-around will likely be back next month (second tuesday and after)
asking the same question about how to install some update because of a
failure to install. Until they fix their updates system, it will repeat
each month.

Also - the easiest way to download any update Microsoft releases and do this
manually is to plug the KB######'s into this web page:



In this case:


From which you should click on the link for IT Professionals:


Where you can get the proper update for your version of Office.

They will also want to check the original link given to ensure they meet the
"Prerequisites to install this security update" and they might even utilize
the section on "How to obtain help and support for this security update" to
their advantage.

I keep getting the same error code - I am wondering if it has to do with not
having "Office 07, ie Word, Excel, and PowerPro" installed. When I bought
my laptop I decided not to opt for Office 07 and instead I just use Works
which came loaded. It seems these 3 updates are connected to Office
products. Anyway - I just unselect the updates and only load the ones that
aren't connected to these 3. So, this is my uneducated solution and I would
really like to know what Microsoft is saying the reason is that these aren't
loading...please if anyone knows - pass it along. Thanks
