Windows Update Error Code 646...

[gamerchic82]

I have been receiving Error Code 646 for the following three items that
Windows Update has been trying to install: Security Update for Microsoft
Visio Viewer 2007; and these two updates: Security Update for 2007 Microsoft
Office System.
I tried to install them both yesterday and today and still the same result.
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate SP2.
What can I do to resolve this?

What firewall application are you running?
What AntiVirus?

32-bit or 64-bit Vista?

For the MS Viso Viewer, remove the viewer and reinstall it (the update may
be looking for the original source files).

I have been getting the same error. I have tried every option to get
those updates. I have tried it manually and it still gives me an error.
I cant install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security
Update for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008,
Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 (KB953297) and some other updates.

I'm having this same problem, can't install this update. I've turned off
the firewall, virus protection. I can't believe this update can't install
without the user having to go through all these contortions to get it
processed.
