I have Vista Ultimate, Office 2007 Pro - same problem: Code 78F

Exactly where is the free space?
You have 30 GB free, but on which partition?
How much free space on the system partition?

I have 193GB Free Space; my System has 1 Partiton only. I don't think lack of
Free Space is responsible.

I got all my Updates installed - FINALLY.

All I did was reboot, install a single Update, reboot again, install another
etc.

I needed to do this several times. Afer a few tries the Updates were
successful.

At one point I was asked to install MS SilverLight, which I did.

I have no idea if SilverLight is needed to Update or not. But it's worth a
try, I suppose.
