Vista Home Premium
Automatic update fails, error code 8024002D. I get a dialog box asking for
MSWORKS8.MSI . I did a search for this file and I can't find it. MSWorks
came installed on my computer. I do not have separate install disk for
MSWorks. It's all on my recovery disks.

Please help,

Joe

I had the same problem as you, and I DID use my Works 8.5 CD. It worked and
the update proceeded like a charm.
