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.

    Hi Nigel,

    I just did a full clean install, and am having the same issue with "Error encountered: (0x80240023)".

    Your reference to:

    "then click Windows Update on the tab that will appear on the right side."

    is confusing because I don't see the Windows update Tab on the right.

    Perusing the window, I did find the Windows update troubleshooter, ran it, and it did not find any error.

    After rebooting, the problem sill persists.

    Question:

    1.  Do I really need this update?

    2.  Is there a solution for this error?

    Thanks, and have a great day!
