The workaround is to place the Office 2007 install CD in the CD drive and then go
Microsoft Update and install the Service Pack .

After 9 failed attempts to get Office 2007 SP1 installed on my machine
via Windows update I decided to investigate this a little bit further
and you are going to laugh about the solution. Believe it or not the
only thing that was required was to have a CD in the drive while the
update was happening, the funny thing is that it can be any CD/DVD as
long as it contains some data, so put a DVD movie and start watching it
while the service pack gets installed.

my previous post may have been ambiguous. The solution that worked was putting a dvd in the drive. Any dvd! So I watched U2 while the install went ahead.
