For Office 2007 File Validation IssueGo to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

Find OFV.CAB and extract it.

You'll have OFV.msi

Install it and hit Retry on Windows Update.

    Just leave the computer on, and in the morning, the Windows Update error will clear and allow the update to complete!! It really will.

    Hello all,

    Yes, I too agree that waiting for 12 to 24 hours is the proper solution to the "Windows update error 0x80240023 for the Microsoft Office File Validation Add-in update. 

    So if like me, anyone took my original advice and hid the File Validation Add-in update using the wushowhide utility, you will have to rerun the wushowhide utility and uh-hide it so that it can update going forward.
