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.

    For what it's worth, I just started having this issue after the recent Win 10 feature update. I had been using Office 07 for years without issue. Suddenly after the update, started seeing the reconfig problem across all of the office suite (solved with the renaming suggestion), but thus far nothing I've tried (including registry fixes) has solved the stdole32 error for Excel.

    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.

    Add me to the list -- solved the reconfig problem using the renaming suggestion, but the popups continue.  Very annoying.  And it only occurs on my desktop, not my laptop,  so I'm trying to compare setups to see if there's a clue in there, but I hope someone else finds it first!

    I have heard nothing further from anyone about this. :(((

    Simple solution: abandon Office and use an alternative like Libreoffice. Works great for me!

    Not so simple when you have 500 people in your company using Microsoft Office.
