SP2 update

Been to several sites over this issue. No has idea to fix it. Ive
found 2 file sizes so far. One of 274 mb and one of 290 mb. Neither
work. The 247 file size is thru the Win Update system. The 290 mb
size is on the Office update pages.

They run a short "compatibility" file when I double click and then is
says FAIL. with and error code of
80200053.

IF we keep pour system up to date...perhaps we already have all the
data? And dont need it. Maybe that is why its failing....are we
already up to date?

But I hope they get to work on this...its all over the net so its not
just 2-3 of us.

Did you check:-

"If you attempt to install this update and get a message saying that the
update failed, please refer to Knowledge Base Article 968173
( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968173 ). It describes a set of
requirements and other issues that may cause the installation to fail, and
gives instructions on how to fix them. "

I am running Vista Ultimate 64 with 4 gig Ram. Trying to update the Office
2007 SP2 package. Still no luck. Why am I finding files of 2 different
sizes. If I use the regular Win Update , it downloads a 247 mb file. If I
go to the MS Office site it is 290 mb. They are saying the 290 one is
correct.

Im thinking somethin is up on YOU GUYS end. Its on several help boards
about people stuck trying to update but FAIL. I just did a validation and
Im ok.

Thanks

Why are you replying to my post?

Please direct your complaints directly to whomever you are referring to when
you state "YOU GUYS".

If you are referring to MS, this newsgroup is rarely monitored by MS and
relies heavily on volunteers.

If on the other hand you require some assistance, please start your own
thread and outline your problem properly and maybe some volunteer just may be
able to assist you.

FYI I had no problem manually updating Office 2007 SP2 on a Windows XP
computer and using automatic updates and downloading the update on a Vista
Ultimate X86 computer running Office 2007.


Thank you.
