Re: Windows Update Error - Office 2003

It appears that this problem goes away for most people when they go to the
Service area and start "Office Source Engine". In my case, I have started
this service and the updates still DO NOT INSTALL. These are files that I
have downloaded separately and I've tried thru the Update Feature. In both
cases, it fails. When it fails as an independent update (downloaded file)
it gives no log or no reason for the failure. When it fails from the MS
Update Window, it gives Error Code: 0x80070643

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone and JCO said
I also have some that have updated just fine, but the 3-listed ...
always fail. Going back to Windows Update, I was able to find the
error code: Error Code: 0x80070643
Not sure what this code means. I know my issue has nothing to do
with a "drive" acting up. I don't have that issue. Good luck with
yours... while I research my error code.



I am having exactly the same problem... Same 3 updates KB905756, KB913807
and KB913161
yet other install fine

"Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070643:"

If you find a fix let me know

I have what appears (on the surface) to be exactly the same problem.
KB905756, KB913807 and KB913161 are failing to install. Other Windows
updates (e.g. KB913446) are installing without any problems.

Installation failure is showing Error Code 0x52F as the status code
in the Update History, which appears to be Installer Error 1327.
This implies an invalid drive letter.

I have a failed drive at the moment (dead hard disk that has been
unplugged) Although it was only used as a scratch area, I'm
wondering if the Office setup has retained some knowledge about the
missing drive and is refusing to play as a result?

Thanks, this is very help full.
I've worked thru most of this already but so far it has not made a
difference.

I also realized that we have a public.office.setup newsgroup where
I also posted this problem.

Thanks again (so far)

My computer keeps telling me to update 3-items (KB905756,
KB913807 & KB913161).
Each time I do the updates, they fail to install. I can't figure
out why. Then the next day, the updates want to install again.
This has been an ongoing process for several days now.

I tried to download each of the updates separately. This made no
difference.

What do I do?
