Security Update for Office 2007 (KB3085616)
The KB3085616 update would not install on my PC.
-- David E. Ross Pharmaceutical companies claim their drug prices are so high because they have to recover the costs of developing those drugs. Two questions: 1. Why is the U.S. paying the entire cost of development while prices for the same drugs in other nations are much lower? 2. Manufacturers of generic drugs did not have those development costs. Why are they charging so much for generics? |

You would have explained exactly where you got the update(*), and what happened when you tried to install it, including the exact text of any error messages. (*) That's not a foregone conclusion, since updates can be got via Windows Update or directly from the not-very-explanatory web page. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://BrownMath.com/ http://OakRoadSystems.com/ Shikata ga nai... |

Oh, but that's too much like hard work for the OP, when all we have to do is look in our crystal balls to see what the error messages, etc. he is getting are.

All I wanted to do was inform you that one of the so-called important updates does not install. I decided it could not be so important and marked it hidden. Standard operating procedure is to locate the KB and download the package as a standalone installation. Then apply it. Many times when stuff will not install, I do that... and it works. Sometimes Office updates are offered, when you have Wordview or PowerPoint Viewer and so on. So even without a proper $$$ Office suite, there can still be Office-related patches offered by Microsoft Update. For example, when I had never attempted to patch WordView in the past, there were something like fifteen related patches for it when I used Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer to check. Paul |

All I wanted to do was inform you that one of the so-called important updates does not install. I decided it could not be so important and marked it hidden. It is most likely good that it did not install. I tried downloading the installer file and manually installing it. That too failed. When I vhecked the indicated SHA-1 and SHA-256 hashes for the downloaded file, they both failed to verify. -- David E.
