I am having the same problem. I tried the registry edit solution at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913754 and it didn't help. I don't know if it
makes a difference, but my Office 2007 suite was installed without a CD/DVD.
I bought it through the Home Users Program (www.microsoftHUP.com) and
downloaded a .exe file that installed it. I bring this up because I've seen
the solution of inserting your install CD during the update and I don't have
that option.

Thanks

Ditto. Though I got Error Code: 0x8007006E
Did you perhaps have Office 2003 with Compatibility Pack for Office 2007 installed before updating to Office 2007? I did.

Updates KB969679 and KB969613, both security patches for Office 2007 and the compatibility pack from what I can tell, will not install. While I am running XP, not Vista, I don't think this relates to the problem.

Problem seems related to the Office upgrade. The Office 2007 install process seems to leave things untidy (Add/Remove Programs still shows the now unnecessary Compatibility Pack installed but it can't remove it). Guessing this affects Windows Updates preventing security patches for Office 2007, I downloaded/ran Windows Install Clean Up per Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to remove install information for Compatibility Pack for Office 2007. Both patches installed just fine afterward.

Cheers,
