Windows update fails with error code 0x643

From the context in which the letters 'cudos' appear, the word that's meant is actually 'kudos' - a noun meaning praise or honour.  'Kudos' derives from the Greek, (hinted at by the fact that 'k' starts the word and 'os' ends it). 

Even though there's an 's' at the end, 'kudos' is singular.  There ain't no 'kudo', and no 'kudoses', just 'kudos'.  ...  If you wanted to modify the word you'd use, for example, 'much' or 'more' or 'little', not 'few' or 'many'.  (Unlike supermarket check-out counters with signs that read 'less than 8 items' instead of 'fewer than 8 items'.) 

I hope this helps, or at least briefly takes the mind off computer-jargon!

By the way:  Despite days and days (and days!) of attempts, like most other folks I can't get around 'error 643' - in my case on Windows 7.  The .NET Framework thingy.  I think I've tried everything that anyone has suggested.

So the brain drifts away from the richness of human language, back to computerish tasks.  Sigh.  Hmm ...  Computers were meant to speed things up and diminish frustration?  Only my Apple friends think so.  ...

So ...  The message I've now received is that I my computer may lack 'the program that needs to be updated ...'!!

I have downloaded the recent Microsoft updates and all but one installed successfully. The failing update was: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 (KB953297);

with an error code of 0x643.

We tried several times to install it and it keeps failing. It was originally the 3rd update in the list to install. After failing the first time, it was the only one we were trying to install. We tried it after the restart required for the other updates.
