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.

    me too same situation like yours I tried to install (Paid/Legal Key) Office 2007 on a new acer desktop. Win 10 Ver 2004   All security updates were installed, but I started getting ERROR 0x80240023 for Microsoft Office File Validation Add-in......

    I just tried to run windows update and i too think maybe the problem is or could be with Office 2007 thing- all other updates for Office 2007 went thru successfully and no problem issues with installations.

    I tried most of what i read here on the forums and it didn't help....

    maybe like Robert NJackson says ...I'll wait for a day and Hope to see if this problem 0x80240023 goes away on its own....

    The only "work around" that I found is to use Microsoft's tool to prevent problem updates from installing. You can find it at:
