Error Code 8007006E - windows 7

I have tried x times to run the windows update inorder to install the 2
security update for MS 2007 Office System
KB972581 and KB972434

Each attemp fails.

I am using
Windows OS 7 Enterprise (6.1.7600)
Office 2007 SP2 (12.0.6504.5000)

What to do?

Insert your Office 2007 CD into the appropriate drive bay before
attempting to install these updates again.

Close all Office applications prior to the next install attempt.

anti-virus; anti-spyware; firewall) prior to the next install attempt.

Try some diagnosis?

<cmd_output OS="XPsp3">
E:\>set /a c = 0x6E
110
E:\>net helpmsg %c%

The system cannot open the device or file specified.
</cmd_output>


So, looks like you will have to look for some log files that the update
created or modified for some context for that code (in either of its
representations) in order to find out *which* device or file is "specified".


Good luck

This worked for me.

I have Office 2003, not 2007. Microsoft Update wanted to install KB972581
but it would always fail.

As suggested, I ran the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack
(FileFormatConverters.exe) installation and it failed as predicted. Without
rebooting, I ran the Office Installer Cleanup Tool and removed the Office
2007 Compatibility Pack. Without rebooting, I ran the Update from the shield
in the system tray and it installed.

PERFECT ! ! !

I'm using XP Pro SP3, Office 2003 SP3
