Were you advising disabling UAC prior to attempting to install all Office
updates or just when attempting to install them manually using the
downloaded installer? I should hope you mean the latter.

I also was unable to complete the update, getting error code 646. The
downloads to my computer are completed when I shut down for the evening.
Tonight I went to Windows Update (from the start menu) selected the updates
and the download was successful. I don't know if it was a fluke that it
worked, but this time it did.

For the automatically downloaded updates. If no joy, do the full file
dance with UAC temp off. No joy ? If it's a Security update, call in.
