I am running Windows 7 and find the two recent updates at the subject will
not load. I have tried loading the updates both in 'normal' and 'safe' mode
and have run the MS Update 'Fix It' (re registers the various dlls required)
all without success. Has anyone else had the same problem and has a
solution?

Incidentally, when loading the updates they fail with a message to the
effect the updates are not working, no error code. I have looked at the
Windows error code log but there is no code there either.

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on
Tip: Insert your Office 2007 CD into the appropriate drive bay before the
next installation attempt.

Tip: If no joy, see if you can download the "fullfile" version of the
update(s) via http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ or
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/ and then install it/them manually.

I have my Office 2007 CD in the drive, have downloaded full versions of both
the updates, quit all active applications before attempting to install these
updates - but they still don't install.

No error message number is created - I have an ASUS M60J laptop running
Windows 7 Professional - what else can we try please?

By the way, I am running Microsoft Security Essentials as the Anti-virus
program and I disabled it when trying to install both these updates manually
- but it still doesn't work.

[And the other shoe drops...]

Since you hijacked someone else's thread, I must ask you to state your full
Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit
SP2; Win7; Win7 64-bit).

When (approx. date) did you install Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) and
was the computer fully-patched at Windows Update at the time?

What anti-virus application was installed before you installed MSE, was your
subscription still current, and did you uninstall it before you installed
MSE?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
