For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with security updates. When you call, clearly state that your problem is related to a Security Update and cite the update's KB number (e.g., KB955428).

For more information about how to contact your local Microsoft subsidiary for security update support issues, visit the International Support Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx

For enterprise customers, support for security updates is available through your usual support contacts.

That's exactly what I was doing, and I'm having no luck. I don't have a MS
Works disc and it seems to want it in order to install. Now it's giving me
error messages about reading a certain .msi file.

Is this update absoloutely necessary even I don't have a disc, or can I
safely ignore it as it's proving extremely difficult to update? :\

This possible fix was posted by Pa Bear yesterday, god luck.
1. Download the update from this link (SAVE it to your desktop, don't RUN
it):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=458985C3-9C6F-4049-81CD-0D0389C81F11&displaylang=en

2. Insert your MS Works 8 CD (if available) into the appropriate drive bay.

3. Double-click on the saved file to install the update; follow all
prompts. --

I've looked around and found some helpful posts of your's with a download
link. I've downloaded it and saved it to my desktop, but when I go to
double click I get a pop-up asking to allow or disallow the installer to
access my computer. Even after clicking Allow, however, nothing further
happens.
