Update for Microsoft Works 8 (KB955428)

Update for Microsoft Works 8 (KB955428) keeps failing as it canot find
works8.msi

I have ran a search and can not find it anyware on the computer.

Anyone got any Ideas?

I am running XP SP3 and works 8.

Thanks

Stephen

I am getting the exact same problem on Vista. It's proving very annoying and
I've not found any way to fix it yet.

Many people have had the same problem, scroll down the posts from the last
two days and you will find the fix to your problem.

I've looked around and found some helpful posts of your's with a download
link. I've downloaded it and saved it to my desktop, but when I go to double
click I get a pop-up asking to allow or disallow the installer to access my
computer. Even after clicking Allow, however, nothing further happens.

This possible fix was posted by Pa Bear yesterday, god luck.
1. Download the update from this link (SAVE it to your desktop, don't RUN
it):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

2. Insert your MS Works 8 CD (if available) into the appropriate drive bay.

3. Double-click on the saved file to install the update; follow all prompts.

That's exactly what I was doing, and I'm having no luck. I don't have a MS
Works disc and it seems to want it in order to install. Now it's giving me
error messages about reading a certain .msi file.

Is this update absoloutely necessary even I don't have a disc, or can I
safely ignore it as it's proving extremely difficult to update? :\

Full Windows version (e.g., Vista SP1; WinXP SP3)?

80070103 Error_No_More_Items: Windows has determined that the selected
driver is not the best driver for your machine.

Are you sure that error isn't associated with another update (e.g., an
Optional Hardware update)?

I got it to work! I searched and searched on the internet, and while looking
about a Vista fan site's forums I learned that the download link you had
given me is well known to 'not look like it installed anything,' and after
following some directions checked to see if it had installed the MS Works 8
updates or not. Turns out it has been installed and now I've hidden the
bugged update as I've already downloaded it.

Thanks for all of your help.
