Resole problems with Office 2008 update installation
Authored by: mckingsley on Dec 12, '08 08:22:05PM

The reason this happens is because the update installer sees that there is a receipt in the receipt folder claiming that the update has already been installed. It's very common if you reinstall Office from the CD it will put an older version on than what you previous had, then you go to run the updates again and it thinks it does not need it because the receipt folder shows the history of the previous updates. In my experience all you have to do is remove all the "Office2008" receipts in the receipt folder before you reinstall from the CD and all will be well.
