Error Code 8007006E - windows 7

[Guest BCVolkert]

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
