WindowsUpdate_80070658 Office updates fail to install.

When I got the update that installed service pack 1 for office 2007 all of my
shortcut icons disapeared and all office shotcuts wont work . so inorder to
open and office program I resorted to finding the icons and puting the new
shortcuts on my desktop. Now I have an update for office that has been trying
to install and fails repeatedly since 4/8 as a result I am NOT a happy
person. and really tired of the fact that MS refuses to adress this issue. if
anyone has a solution (Beside switching to Mac which Will be my next
computer) then please let me know.

Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.

Somehow I think you are going to have to find a bit more information
than that error code... ; )
