Office 2007 updates are not installing - Error 0x80072af9

Ok, Downloaded and installed all updates manually

Rebooted PC

Checked for updates and see all 4 still listed .. but.. they all disappear in windows update and then return with the same Error 0x80072af9

This suggests to me that they were probably installed all along but windows update is in difficulty and cant seem to mark them as installed.

What to do now ?

Can you please tell me the error code you receive when you get the update failed message? If it is 80070002 or anything like that, follow these steps:



Well, first of all let me just say that I am not a computer professional. However, I have had the same problem with my 32-Bit Windows Vista Home Premium (making Microsoft's statement null and void) and I have solved it! Here are the step by step instructions:



1) Go to the Start Menu.

2) Click on Computer.

3) Open up the drive where windows is installed (usually your C drive).

4) Open the Windows Folder.

5) Scroll down a bit and locate the SoftwareDistribution folder (exactly like that).

6) Open the Download folder.

7) Open the Install folder.

8) There sould only be one file there. Right click on it and select "Run as Administrator".

9) After entering an Administrator password, run the installation, using the default values and clicking yes at the license.

10) After the installation is complete (shouldn't take more than a few minutes), restart your computer (as an added precaution, though not necessary).

11) After the computer restarts again, run Windows Update again. It should run as normal. All fixed!

I apologize for Microsoft's ineptitude.


This worked for me guys...
