Works 8 update

Hi,

I tried to install the update for Works 8 (KB955428) and keep getting the
error code 8024002D with an instruction to insert a disc. I bought my
computer, from new, with the Works program already installed, so do not have
a disc. I am using Vista Home Premium.

Any ideas how to get around this?

Many thanks for any help.
David

Curious where you got this info. I have Works 8.5, and the update
installed (manually) just fine. Did microsoft tell you that it was not
for Works 8.5?

I got it from the newsgroup microsoft.public.windowsupdate, I don't know
whether the person who posted it got the information from direct from
microsoft. There were few
postings which seemed to confirm it to be true.

I did try to manually install the update, to no avail.
