Error -1409

iBook PPC G4, , MS Office 2008 v. 12.0.0

I have installed the new MS updater but can not get the MicroSoft
update to install because of -error 1409. This might be a Mac thing
and not have anything to do with MS Office, any ideas. Have checked
the archieves and haven't found anything helpful. Ran Disc Utility,
Compacted/repaired the Data base, ran Tech Tool and still can't
update.

This is one error we do not have on the Error Page.

A Google search found this:

the -1409, /* Named fork does not exist */ error I think means that some
part of the OS is damaged or missing, (assuming that the HD directories &
such aren't messed up), so I'd try reinstalling the last big combo update...

Note: if the combo updater does not fix it, you will need to do an "Archive
& Install". See directions at the end.

Download the combo updater from Apple and run it again rather than using
Software Update. Doing so overwrites potentially problem-causing files.
Combo updaters will install on the same version as they¹re applying‹no need
to roll back or do a clean install.

Leopard:

Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update (This update delivers several improvements for
both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs )

Tiger:

Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (PPC)

Follow the directions in "New installer for 12.0.1", but be sure to apply
the latest Apple combo updater first.

New installer for 12.0.1

<http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/2008/03/new_installer_for_1201.html>

This should also update the AutoUpdater (MAU). If you do not get the option
to do this after first installing Office, see

======================

"Archive and Install" moves existing system files to a folder named Previous
System and then installs Mac OS X again.

Just be sure to check Preserve Users and Network Settings when you select
Archive & Install.

Diane,

I did try the combo updater and got the same error messege -1409.
Haven't tried the archieve and install yet to see if the -1409 occurs
there. MS Office 2008 is working fine, only the update is causing
problems, it actually says there is a Macintosh Sytem errors.
Probably the next update will take care of it. Maybe. I'm starting
to think it might be the new Adobe Reader that I just downloaded.

System errors will most likely not be fixed by an update. You need to do an
"Archive & Install".
