RE: 1st Time Ever - Failed Updates

Peter,

I was having the same problem installing KB955428. The only difference is
that I'm using a Windows XP SP3 machine.

Try installing the update using this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=458985c3-9c6f-4049-81cd-0d0389c81f11&DisplayLang=en
I don't know if there is an download option for your location -- Canada, but
try seeing if there is one. (I think "KB955428_zh-CN.cab" is for China? Or is
the "CN" for Canada?)

I downloaded and installed "KB955428_en-US.cab", rebooted and got a balloon
informing me that an update was ready. I installed the update, when to
Microsoft Update and the update was that not installing -- KB955428 -- now
appears as a successful update.

Good luck,

Sterling

PS I wasn't prompted to insert the Works 8 CD/DVD.

Vista: Works 8 KB955428 fails because I need the Works8.msi from the CD I
don't have....I updated to 8 from Works 2004 (have that CD)
One XP: KB949901 Sec. Upd for Excel Viewer 2003 + as above
The other XP: Works8 as above but strangely it accepted a security update
for excel Viewer 2003 but a diferent KB; 951589 which wasn't offered to the
other XP.
