RE: KB955428 update patch for microsoft woks 8

It's taken me 3days to get this update. The tip from Graceful/Graceless did
the trick for me. However, now that I have cleared the update I lost the
msworks icon on my desktop.After the update was installed I restarted my
computer. I still had the installer icon. When I clicked on this I was able
to launch the programme by choosing MS Works. This changed the icon but not
the installer name, which I have changed to MS WORKS. Then when I clicked on
it I get a window that says:- Works unable to open the project you selected.
The file may be corrupted. Once I close this window by clicking on o.k. then
the programme opens normally. Can anyone tell me if the programme is
corrupted or how I get rid of the window that says it maybe?

Laurie: Yesterday, a tip from "Sterling" did the trick for me. Like you,
Windows Update downloaded but could not install the Works8 update. Here is
what you can do; Sterling's tip that worked for me.

1. go to www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?Family
ID=458985c3-9c6f-4049-81cd-0d0389c81f11&DisplayLang=en .
2. Download the file KB955428_en-US.cab. Save this to your desktop.
(Easiest way to proceed)
3. Once you have downloaded it to your desktop, double-click the icon on
your desktop. A window will open with the file in it. Double-click that
icon and select Extract (to Desktop). Once the extraction has completed (it
is very quick and puts a new icon on your desktop), close that window and
doubler-click the new icon just extracted to your desktop.
4. When you double click tthe icon the update will install. (In my case, I
went back to the Windows Update for that install, after double-clicking .)

Download works for me, I don't know why you're having trouble downloading the
file. Perhaps it's something on your computer that is causing the problem.
Have you checked for viruses/malware etc recently.

my hd for it to open it to it still says the same thing.
