I have 12 Vista desktops on a Windows 2003 SBS domain. The updates are controlled through Windows Update Services 3.
The desktops have the same hardware and software configuration: Windows Vista Business x86 and Office 2007 Small Business.
Applying Office 2007 update raises the 646 error on only 2 desktops. All the others work (all of them were installed in the same day and have been configured the same).
No solution found on google worked for me: I have tried reregistering the Windows Update dll's with regsvr32.exe, I have disabled the UAC.
I have found two solutions to work: - downloading the standalone upgrade package, and running it from a domain user account which is an administrator for the desktop - logging in as domain administrator and applying updates through Windows Update
I am trying to find out what I am missing so that the domain user can update it's desktop.
