Getting Windows Installer error message when starting Office appli

When I start an Office application I initially get a "Windows Installer"
window to pop up stating "Preparing to install...". Approximately 30 seconds
or so later a window pops up titled "Problem with Shortcut". The statement
in this window is "This update package could not be opened. Verify that the
update package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application
vendor to verify this is a valid Windows Installer update package."

I am running Vista and Office 2007. This has not been a problem in the
past. It appears a recent Windows update either didn't install correctly or
re-located a file Office is looking for. There are no failed installs in the
Windows Update history. Anyone have any ideas?
