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.

    Thanks for this.

    With regards to **"**I uninstalled every Office update on my system that wasn't an Office "Security" update, and I also didn't uninstall Office 2007 SP3 and the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack either".

    I have 56 update under Office Enterprise. So did I pick out  all non security updates ( there are quite a few) and uninstall? It's just that Office 2007 came pre-installed on laptop and when I tried to use the product code to download a copy from Microsoft just in case I messed it up I got an error saying as software was pre-installed by HP I must approach them for recovery. My laptop warranty expired so I didn't want to end up stranded.

    Sorry to be a pain but your help is appreciated.

    Same issue as ShadBauer. Installed the Win 10 update 2 days ago and started seeing this problem on all Office 2007 products after years with no issues. Also no success with registry fixes and renaming setup.exe  

    Update: I removed recent Win 10 and Office Pro 2007 updates (dated 12/21/2017), rebooted (which loaded new updates dated today 12/28/2017), and the problem is fixed.

    Procedure:

    1. WinLogo + R and in the Open: box type > appwiz.cpl 
    2. click OK opens the Program and Features window
    3. click "View installed updates" link on the top right
    4. Navigate to the group "Microsoft Office Professional 2007" I had 51 updates there dated 12/21/2017. I uninstalled 3 updates from the top of the list that started with "Update ..." (not "Security Update ..."). Method: right-click an update, select Uninstall from the popup menu (the only option), accept all prompts from subsequent popup windows.
    5. Navigate to the group "Microsoft Windows" I had 5 updates there dated 12/21/2017. Using the same procedure as above, I uninstalled 3 updates that would allow it (2 of 5 did not present a popup uninstall window when I right-clicked)
    6. reboot Windows

    With regard to 4) above I have 56 updates but these are in a group "Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007" so not sure which 3 updates to uninstall from that group as there are 7 or more listed. 

    With regard to 5) there are 5 updates so perhaps if I uninstall 3 it might work?  If I just do this what is the worst that could happen as I'm not too confident when it comes to this.

    This is the 2nd time I've had window 10  fall update and as I encountered the same problems 1st time around I went back to recovery for the previous version and it all worked fine. Trouble is it will attempt to download windows 10 fall at some later date and I'll be back to square one. 

    I also use LibreOffice and that is having problems when I try to open it so may have to bite the bullet and buy office 2016. Hmm

    I used the following process after having no success with the above solutions.

    1 Uninstall Office 2007 using uninstalling tool provided by Microsoft

    This is the french version, but I'm sure you can access to the english one

    https://support.office.com/fr-fr/article/D%C3%A9sinstaller-Office-d-un-PC-9dd49b83-264a-477a-8fcc-2fdf5dbf61d8#OfficeVersion=2007

    2 Download and reinstall Office 2007

    https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/office

    Note: I have kept the product key which has allowed me to reinstall Office .

    Have fun 

    Cheers

    Jean
