I got it from the newsgroup microsoft.public.windowsupdate, I don't know
whether the person who posted it got the information from direct from
microsoft. There were few
postings which seemed to confirm it to be true.

I did try to manually install the update, to no avail.

I am having the exact same issue and that link wasn't very helpful
for me I
tried the standalone install as well as the update notification 5
times now
and still keep getting the same thing please insert disc???????

try looking for help where the update gurus hang out:

microsoft.public.windowsupdate

I found this in the above newsgroup which helped me:

I had the same problems installing this update. After much riggamaroll
searching everywhere it turns out this Update as mentioned is for
Microsoft Works8. Having a new machine like most of you I assumed I had
Works8 installed.

I don't! It's Works 8.5.
This update is not needed and can be successfully just ignored or
hidden.

To find your versionin vista anyway)
1) Click Start All Programs and then PC Help & Tools Click
Recovery Manager.

The recovery manager welcome screen opens.

2) Click Next.
3) On the Software Program re-installation screen select Yes, and then
click Next.
4) On the Welcome screen, click Next.
5) Look for the Microsoft Works program and check if there is any
version number next to it.

If it 8.5 as mine was your done. Just ignore or hide the Update.

Now you'd think the update would recognize this but hey it's Microsoft.
It ain't ever easy.

Best of Luck...


Curious where you got this info. I have Works 8.5, and the update
installed (manually) just fine. Did microsoft tell you that it was not
for Works 8.5?

According to this article;

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms08-044.mspx

The only "Non affected" version of works is v.9.

Works 8.5 is a build number I believe, not a version.

Hi,

I tried to install the update for Works 8 (KB955428) and keep getting the
error code 8024002D with an instruction to insert a disc. I bought my
computer, from new, with the Works program already installed, so do not have
a disc. I am using Vista Home Premium.

Any ideas how to get around this?

Many thanks for any help.

JIMLUO: "Me too", posts have no value and mung up the sequence of answers. Just follow the discussion and the answer will come just as fast.

David: Your computer manufacturer is required to provide you a means of re-installing all of the software that came pre-installed. Most computer vendors (Dell for sure) provide a set of Works disks with the computer if Works is preinstalled. If you did not get a set, contact the seller or the manufacturer for your copy.

Dear jimluo,

I believe you are better off without the update. It would bring the
version to 8.5 and you would lose some old modules that are 16-bit!!! MS
never updated/rewrote these, and just removed them. This is the easiest
and cheapest way to modernize a program. So if all parts of Works work,
do nothing and be happy you don't have version 9.
