The fix to this problem is simply uninstall KB2767916, restart your computer and then run updates again. That's all.

  Hi Jeff,

           That sounds a very simple fix to the small problem. A question though, how does one - "non computer buff" - search for update KB2767916? When I try to type on cortana search bar I cant - another small problem!

Thanks.

Go to CONTROL PANEL (windows key + r, then type control and press enter).

Click on PROGRAMS and FEATURES.

On left side of screen click on VIEW INSTALLED UPDATES.

Look for the update - "Update for Microsoft Office 2007 suites (KB2767916) 32-bit Edition."

Uninstall it then restart your computer and run windows updates again.

    I received the Win 10 Fall Creator's Update on my desktop a few weeks ago and encountered this problem with Office 2007 (plus the corresponding one where Word keeps trying to reinstall every time I open a .docx).  I've been putting off troubleshooting it.  But now I just installed a brand new Win 10 laptop and everything was working fine with Office 2007.  Then I got the Fall Creator's Update and now the laptop is doing the same thing.  I will try the "uninstalling updates" method, (but Win 10 will likely just reinstall the updates and it'll break again) or I'll try a clean remove and reinstall with Revo Uninstaller (I've been using that for years; it's a good tool for an IT person).  I hope one of those things works.  Option 2 is likely better, but what a giant pain in the rear for a suite that I just spent so much time configuring.

    Regardless, it goes beyond Microsoft not supporting many of their older products now.  I firmly believe they're intentionally sabotaging the older programs in order to force people to upgrade.  The same thing mysteriously happened with IE 11 when MS really started to push Edge like a year ago - IE 11 will now very frequently crash or not play videos, etc., even on sites that it used to work fine with before and whose content hasn't changed.

    I followed the Procedure described by PaulDiGoss. So uninstalled the updates (except the security updates). This solved the stdole32.tlb problem on my laptop. Its a week ago now and it still works fine!

    Hi Susie,

    I faced the same problem with Excel 2007 / Windows 10.

    Registry edit didn't help me as well.

    Finally I've followed advise from  https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/528044/stdole32tlb-in-excel-2007/

    1. Installed Revo Uninstaller (free edition).
    2. Uninstalled Microsoft Office 2007 from Revo
    3. Right after the uninstall made Revo to make advanced scan for leftovers.
    4. Deleted all leftovers  found by Revo.
    5. Made clean install of Microsoft Office 2007.

    Hope it will work for you too. Good luck from Ukraine.

    Looking forward to what you identify between your laptop and desktop as the cause. Where I'm using an MS Surface Pro 4 -- an entirely MS product -- there should be nothing incompatible....except that MS wants us all to buy Office 365.
