MsWorks Update error U all Know what it is

i have a windows update regarding microsoft works 8 and i get an error
because i dont have the c.d. for it.It came preinstalled .i came aross a
download from microsoft to download and install it. i did download the
eng.usa cab one and i followed instructions i put it on my desktop when i
click on it i can see installer and then the allow and cancel screen but
after i allow it nothing happens. Once i saw an error code 1406 or something
like that and it failed. this is a real pain because when ever i turn on my
pc i have this update. is there a way to diable just that update so it
wouldnt come on anymore. If anyone has any suggestions id appreciate it
thanks.

Did you extract the contents of the .cab file to the Desktop and then
*right* click the .msp contained in the extracted folder and choose
Install ? If no joy, then see:

Like Christina, I'm unable to manually install the .msp file extracted from
the KB955428 .cab file. The message I get is "unable to open project, the
file may be corrupted".

PC is free of malware and viruses. Safe mode install did not work, nor did
an uninstall/reinstall of MS Works 8.5

Any suggestions MowGreen??

TIA - Morty

Disable the installed antivirus before downloading the .cab file. If a
3rd party firewall is being used, disable it and *Enable* the native
Windows firewall. That's what *may* have corrupted it.
If no joy, then contact MS for no-charge support in getting this

desktop again and diabled the user account control and my virus soft ware and
i still see a 1305 error code. i can run it but after windows installer i get
a box saying 1305 and file does not exist would it be ok if i just hid the
update in windows updates????

Since there hasn't been any reports as yet that these vulns are being

it does not show any more as of how to remove it that i cannot annswer .. i
asked mircosoft what to do and they suggested that i go buy the program so i
can get the up date..
