I have been receiving the error codes every time I run the following Windows
updates:-
KB921896 - MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 2
KB946140 - Update for Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007
KB948109 - Security Update for MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service
Pack 2
KB951944 - MS Office 2007 Security Update
KB957829 - Outlook 2007 Junk Email filter

I am running Vista Home Premium and Office Professional 2007. In addition, I
installed MS SQL Server 2008 Express Edition. I uninstalled it on discovering
that it was incompatible with Outlook 2007's Business Contact Manager (isn't
this ridiculous?) and reinstalled MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

Please advise what I need to do as some operations in Outlook 2007 generate
Business Contact Manager error messages about being unable to connect to the
database - I assume that all these update error messages are connected.

Hello, I have received the same errors 0x80070643 on the same type of system
windows. Now I am only beginner with this stuff but have the following info.
updates that won't install are 2007 microsoft office suite service pack 1
(SP1), security microsoft office 2007 (KB951550), security microsoft office
system (KB951944). As far as I can tell the 0x80070643 error goes with the
SP1 and the KB951550 and the error 1603 goes with KB951944. Please help as
these have been trying to auto update for a while and I have even tried to
download from MS site with no success. Thank you Don

To avoid confusion, please begin a new thread about your specific problems.
State your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1;
Vista 64-bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64-bit) in your first post. Thank you.
