The title of my thread question is "long standing problem with error
0x80070643" I presumed that a reader of the question would therefore have the
specific reference. Clearly I should have put that in the body of the
question text. To reiterate, the same error message appears with all failure
records for office updates only (other updates appear to work with no
problem). To avoid any further confusion the failure error is 0x80070643.

No one here could possibly advise you on the correct course of action as you
have provided nothing upon which to base an opinion. No actual problems,
errors, error messages, just a simple "can't install." The first question I
would ask is, why not?
