Running Windows 7. Unable to install 5 updates:

Security Update for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (KB982308)
Security Update for Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 (KB979441)
Security Update for Microsoft Office Word 2007 (KB982135)
Security Update for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 (KB982158)
Security Update for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB982312)

Each I time get error 00000646 that updates failed. Tried manual update as 
mentioned in other notes and get error that update is already installed. Yet, 
still appears as a critical update on windows updates. Appreciate any help - 
thanks.

See if temporarily disabling UAC allows the updates to install. 

try disabling User Account Control first before downloading the update 
manually. See: (Guided Help: Adjust User Account Control settings in Windows 
7):
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975787/en-us>

install the updates, reenable UAC.

or just disconnect from the internet and try to install the updates. You 
might have to reboot first.


Otherwise...
