Re: Office 2003 won't update gives error code 80070643.

Can you tell us exactly which updates for Office 2003 are not installing and how are you trying to install them and most importantly what have you tried.

Re: Office 2003 won't update gives error code 80070643.

The error code that comes up is 80070643. I'm trying to install the latest
security updates for microsoft office 2003, KB914455, 920813, 924424, 929064,
919029, 923097, 925251. Outlook 2003 KB924085. Word KB929057. Excel KB929058
and Power Point 929060.

It says these are all updates and I'm trying to install them from the
microsoft update website, using the activex control. Thanks for your help!

Re: Office 2003 won't update gives error code 80070643.

Try this and post back with result. You might need to install them 1 by 1 from the Office site and not the WU site.



1st Rename Office subkeys


Note: Removing the following registry keys may reset customized user
settings for your Microsoft Office programs.


1. Close all the applications.
2. Click on Start->Run, type in REGEDIT and click on OK.
3. Locate and select the following registry subkeys:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0


4. Right click on 11.0 and rename them to Old11.
5. Close the Registry Editor.


2nd. Detect and Repair Office 2003


1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start, point to and click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
3. Click Change/Remove Programs on the left pane.
4. Highlight Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 on the right pane
and click Change.
5. Insert the correct version of CD when it requires.
6. Select "Reinstall and Repair" and click Next.
7. Select "Detect and Repair errors in my Office installation".
8. Click Install and wait the process to end.


3rd. Install the Updates
