I’ve never had a problem before but now WU wants to keep installing the same 3 Office 2007 updates over and over. They are in my installed updates list 3 times now.
Yes, I have it too. Posted on the Microsoft forums http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/updates-trying-to-install-over-and-over-again/2a624908-f4b1-46d8-87ed-caa09674ff4f?rtAction=1378836774249
Have never had a problem with WU either.
I had 1 also, Just hung and wouldn’t finish installing. ???
It was the only optional install so I have set to ignore.
I have the same problem out of seven updates for win 7 all seven want to keep updating over and over again.I put them all on don’t show again.
WU installed 5 updates yesterday and didn’t have any problems.
Roger that…same issue ;D
Same here on the Win7 X64 system I have, Microsoft has been dropping the ball lately “a lot” :o
I have ancient MS Office version so no updates for that and no subsequent problems.
For me it is the WU .NET Framework update nightmare, as that without doubt has caused me lots of grief in the past. I haven’t yet been offered Windows Updates yet, probably later today.
It appears to be mostly the three that True Indian posted. Those are the same three giving me the issue. They’re all for Office 2007 and older versions are not affected. If you don’t have any Office things installed, you should be fine.
Yeap! Those 3 KB; 2760411, 2760588, 2760583 are the ones >:(
No answer yet from Microsoft.
Just FYI
The update issue on my Win8 Pro I mentioned in my previous post (Update for Windows 8 for x64-based Systems (KB2876415) is not “Office” related.
I don’t have MS Office installed.
I’m trying to report it to MicrosoftHelps on twitter. I find this very odd that it is happening.
I had it as well, was two 2007 microsoft office and an excel update that wouldnt install. Went away after I had installed them and rebooted my computer 3 times.
It seems that any Tweets or questions about this issue on Facebook at the official MS sites are being quickly deleted. They have acknowledged the problem however, and say they are working on it. There is a recommendation to uninstall the problem updates and then hide them in WU until a fix is forthcoming. It’s not clear whether this comes directly from MS or not however. I personally have done it.
Glad I found this page just now: Since the 11th I’ve 2760411 already seven times;
2760588 also seven times and it’s continuing to ask me for the same to repeat down-loading…
I have hidden the 3 updates so they are not installed repeatedly, but I have not uninstalled them yet.
At least Microsoft updated security bulletin MS13-073 acknowledging the fact that these Excel/Office updates are repeatedly offered and reinstalled. see More information " Known issues "
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2760583/en-us
Hopefully they would come up with a fix soon.
I don’t have Office 7 installed, and I don’t have the Excel Viewer 7 installed and the updates have been installed several times;
I don’t even know why it updates what I don’t have…
Greetings everyone,
The main issue I had with those 29 updates, was for Excel 2003. (I actually [b]had[/b] both Office 2003 & 2010 on this machine). Like many others, I kept getting a WU notice to update that one application. Finally just uninstalled Office 2003 since I use the 2010 version & rebooted. The issue eventually resolved.
The MBSA scan and also sfc /scannow I did earlier this morning did not show any problems. I did post a topic in both the Microsoft Win 7 and Secunia PSI Forums about this issue. It appears a lot of people are still experiencing problems…judging by the number of topic reply notifications I still continue to receive.
Regards to all,
Pete C.
I unistalled the updates and hid them from WU. Now only the red tray icon from Secunia PSI reminds me about them.
It seems Microsoft finally fixed it or pull the affecting updates. They are not shonw in my hidden updates and MU does not show any critical updates anymore.
