kb947172 update failing - vista

Update kb947172 keeps failing for me in my vista home premium. It generates
an error code (i can't remember which) that points to a problem with ms
office as the possible answer. I don't have office installed on the affected
computer.

I have tried downloading the update and running it from the hardrive, still
it fails. I have searched for a possible answer but have not had much luck
finding any possible solutions (other than the reference to making sure a
certain office service is activated).

Anyone have any suggestions or point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Could you please provide the error code.

Thank you.

I figured it out myself - turned out to be something very simple. I had never
even started media center since I owned this computer, so I figured since
thats what the update was for, I'd make sure it was working fine. Well all
that was needed was to set up media center for the first time I guess,
because after that the update installed no problem.
