• Microsoft Office 2007 Security Update KB949031
• Microsoft Office 2007 Security Update KB949029

This is due to a Microsoft^� Office^� 2007 dependency within the Microsoft^� package itself and so does not pass an expected fail code back to the RM AppAgent installer.  This same issue is also exhibited if you are to:

• Re-allocate the above packages to workstation on which they have already been successfully installed.
