Hi.
Recently we been receiving this error 646 while installing office 2007
security updates. Few fixes like Disabling UAC on vista and installing the
updates manually is a workaround solutions which surely defeat the purpose of
the feature AUTOMATIC UPDATES in Windows OS.

However, digging down the grave, this is a resolution i came across. Error
646 in vista.. windows updates is trying to locate the location of a folder
to load the updates prior to install. %APPDATA%


Here is the permanent solution.

1: Open registry editor
2. Go to the location

Navigate to the following registry keys
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders

The correct and default value for AppData should be:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming

If not then change it. Then try windows update..

Cheers
