I have two KBs which fail to install, both are office / outlook 2007
"security" updates marked as critical or important. One gives error 57a and
the other 57e. As others have pointed out on these forums, there is no
specific guidance from microsoft as to what these error codes mean or what
can be done to effect the installation of these problematic updates.

I have tried the following:

Windows Update - automatic installation
Windows Update - purge software distribution / downloads folder to
re-download the updates
Manual installation of KB updates from MS website

My system is Vista 64, Outlook 2007 - both are fully updated with the
relevant service packs.

The KB numbers are:

Outlook 2007 - KB972363
Office 2007 - KB972581

Please advise how these installations should be completed successfully.

I run Vista Home Premium, but 32 bit.
I have Office XP and have it in my CD/DVD bay.
The advise of installing the Office CD didn't work.
Is there a way of downloading the req'd KB's induvidually?
I need KB's 973702, 974556, and 974811.
The Windows Update states that they're important.

I have the same problem. I tried everything but have no results. I can't even
find the definition of 57E. Whats with that?
