unable to install KB914454

[Festina]

Automatic Update was unable to install, so I tried it manually at both
Microsoft update and Office update unsuccessfully. Help.

I tried all those things.

Am I really left with reinstalling? No thanks.

Microsoft Support for update troubles is free, and they *will* fix the
problem.

Whenever I have a problem with Update, I ask for help instead of monkeying
around with it, and I learn something new every time.

Good luck.

Thank you, that is what I did last time and they were very helpful and I'm
just waiting on them. Take care.

Thanks, Rhonda . . . http://support.microsoft.com/gp/wusupport
Worked for me!

Tried it, no dice.

Found the solution from a 3rd party.

MS support sucks.

I appear to be having a similar problem - could you share the solution
with us?

Problem is destructin of registry keys CAUSED BY running MICROSOFT LIVE
SAFETY CENTER REGISTRY CLEANER!!
Restore them with a double click on the .reg backup file in C:\Documents and
Settings\<user>\Applicaion Data\Windows Live Safety Center\Backup.
Nice one, Microsoft.

Thanks, but it turns out this wasn't my problem (I wasn't using Safety
Center).

I contacted MS Customer Support for Office Update & got the following
solution:

Download & run the "Local Installation Source Tool" from MS & disable
and delete all of the "local" installation source items. After doing
this, I was able to perform the online Office Updates again.

You can Google for the local installation source tool:
