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.

    Yes, this seems to have worked.  The next day, when I opened Updates in Settings, I searched for updates and the add-in was installed immediately.

    Oddly, though, Windows also installed a couple updates for Office 2010 . . . which I do not have.  Harumph!

    Ah yes.... But now it seems, we have to wonder, will Office not be activated in 30 days??? ;-(
