2007 Office Updates under Vista...don't Update

[Bahaar]

The Windows Vista Update gizmo keeps telling me there are Office 2007
updates. I tell it to install them. It churns. It fails. It gives me an
error (57E) and tells me to "look it up on the web" (fab user-support there,
by the way) only...there's no such help.

Before anyone suggests "disable your 3rd party firewall, anti-spam, virus
checker, etc." ....don't. I've done all that. Other Windows Vista updates
install, but the Office 2007 updates don't.

I'm 100% sure the problem is related to Vista's, "Ok, you're logged on as an
Administrator, but I'm now going to stop all activity and ask you if you are
an administrator anyway," foolishness. How do I get Vista to "grow up"
enough to let me do the work that I need to do?

How do I get these Office 2007 Updates under Vista to actually update?

I have the same problems with the same error code for office 2003? it is a
valid office suite and yet it wont install updates for it? it seems to be an
issue with office updates in general??

Greetigns - has there been any resolution to your question regarding
encountering the error code 57E - I noticed the errors began for me on Feb
14, 2008 when the Security Update for Microsoft Office Word 2003 (KB943983)
failed - I too turned off Antivirus and ran the windows updater as
administrator and still run into those errors. I'm not finding any answers
to how to resolve this.
