I have Vista Home Premium & Office 2007 installed. I have not been getting
updates for months due to a hanging install of a microsoft.net 1.1 update.

It offers the .net update daily & after dozens of unsuccessful tries it has
finally installed - thus allowing 6 months of windows & office updates to
install.

Next the .net update starts showing up again & freezing out other updates.

Finally it installs again, and vista sp1 appears & installs.

NOW office 07 won't work & says "outlook (or excel, word, etc) is not
installed for the current user. Please re-install. Well it won't reinstall or
repair. Repair doesn't show up as an option in control panel, and when you
try to install from disc it just crashes almost immediately.

Of course - now I am getting the same microsoft.net 1.1 update offer which
will not install & is giving me error code EO434F4D which can't be found in
the microsoft database.

Can anyone help me please?
 
Unfortunately windows installer is for xp & prior versions. I am running
Vista & this article does not apply to my situation. any other advice?

Thanx
