For Office updates, the 646 error is usually resolved by inserting the
Office CD *prior* to the attempted installation of the updates or by
manually downloading the full file versions of the updates from the MS
Download Center and then installing them manually:

Inserting the Office CD is not the answer. When my computer specialist
installed Office 2007 for me, Microsoft no longer gave you physical CD's.
They required that you purchase it and download it directly from Microsoft
website. So although I have a full professional version of Office 2007,
Microsoft did not provide physical CD's and therefore that is not a solution
I can use.

The "manually downloading the full file versions of the updates from the MS
Download Center and then installing them manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/" worked perfectly for me. I usually I
have so much trouble with trying to install difficult updates and have to get
help with them from people more tech savvy. Thank you.
