I am having the same problem with downloading the works update. When I push
the download button it says it can't find the file. When I make a folder on
my hd for it to open it to it still says the same thing.

Download works for me, I don't know why you're having trouble downloading the
file. Perhaps it's something on your computer that is causing the problem.
Have you checked for viruses/malware etc recently.

Otherwise please see: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=955428

Download KB955428_en-US.cab to your C: drive. You will then extract the file
to your C: drive. Then click on the extracted file in your C: drive and it
will appear to install and then disappear. Restart your computer and
download the update and it should succeed. I hope this helps you!

Laurie: Yesterday, a tip from "Sterling" did the trick for me. Like you,
Windows Update downloaded but could not install the Works8 update. Here is
what you can do; Sterling's tip that worked for me.

1. go to www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?Family
ID=458985c3-9c6f-4049-81cd-0d0389c81f11&DisplayLang=en .
2. Download the file KB955428_en-US.cab. Save this to your desktop.
(Easiest way to proceed)
3. Once you have downloaded it to your desktop, double-click the icon on
your desktop. A window will open with the file in it. Double-click that
icon and select Extract (to Desktop). Once the extraction has completed (it
is very quick and puts a new icon on your desktop), close that window and
doubler-click the new icon just extracted to your desktop.
4. When you double click tthe icon the update will install. (In my case, I
went back to the Windows Update for that install, after double-clicking .)

ok did that and this is what happenswhen i click on the file i get a message
saying the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer
service because the program to be upgraded may be missing or the upgrade
patch may update a different version of the program. verify that the program
to be upgraded exists on
your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.

checked and i have version 8.5 works

It's taken me 3days to get this update. The tip from Graceful/Graceless did
the trick for me. However, now that I have cleared the update I lost the
msworks icon on my desktop.After the update was installed I restarted my
computer. I still had the installer icon. When I clicked on this I was able
to launch the programme by choosing MS Works. This changed the icon but not
the installer name, which I have changed to MS WORKS. Then when I clicked on
it I get a window that says:- Works unable to open the project you selected.
The file may be corrupted. Once I close this window by clicking on o.k. then
the programme opens normally. Can anyone tell me if the programme is
corrupted or how I get rid of the window that says it maybe?

Laurie: Sorry to hear that. I am fairly new at this. The solution I gave
you (from another Community gy, "Sterling") did work for me. I, like you,
kept getting Windows Update refusing to install. All I can suggest is that
you again go through the procedure that I last gave. My first attempt I
think I did something wrong, because it did not work at first. Maybe you
should restart after that last "extraction" step? Then, go back to Windows
Update. It seems to me that when I extracted to my desktop that I did NOT
restart, but went right to Windows Update (by clicking on that persistent
Diamond on my task bar down below). At any rate, I think it is worth your
time to try again: go to that Microsoft download site and try to extraft and
run that .cab file again. (Before doing that, I suggest that you should send
to your Recycle bin" the icons that you previously downloaded. )

what would you do if you tried to install update for microsoft works 8
(kb955428) and it says: the feature you are trying to use is on a CD_ROM or
other removable disk thatis not available. Insert the 'microsoft works' disk
and click ok.

carmella,

I have been having the same problem as you. I also found that this
problem we've been experiencing (getting a request to insert a
Microsoft Works CD and then clicking "cancel" since we do not have the
CD) results in only some of the updates being installed onto our
computer, but not ALL the updates. Furthermore, some of the updates
that are not installed are listed as "critical" (updates KB955617,
KB955048, KB954066, KB924090 specifically). So, it's probably not a
good idea to ignore this issue.

I have attempted to install these critical updates manually using the
method outlined above by Graceful/Graceless, but I've had no luck.
Again, only some of the updates are being installed, but not all - and
not any of the critical updates I've listed previously. Incidentally,
you can check to see if these updates have been installed onto your
computer by going to Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs, and
then ticking the "show updates" box at the very top of the Add/Remove
Programs window. You'll have to scroll down through all of the
listings to find the updates as they are scattered throughout the
window. The complete list of required updates can be found at
http://www.microsoft.com/protect/com...ns/200808.mspx.

I've sent an email to Microsoft about this problem and as soon as I
get a response, I'll let you know what they've told me by posting a
message here.
