Resole problems with Office 2008 update installation
Authored by: alansky on Dec 13, '08 05:54:27PM

I've seen this problem on several Macs. Reinstalling Office 2008 does work, but it is insane of Microsoft to suggest that this is an acceptable solution. The next time there's a new update, the problem recurs all over again. Another certified piece of crap from Microsoft!

Thanks to those who suggested simpler fixes. If they work, updating Office 2008 will definitely be a little less painful.

Resole problems with Office 2008 update installation
Authored by: katz22b on Dec 14, '08 10:46:38PM

I had the same problem. It was caused by removing the unnecessary additional languages that are installed. I would use an application to remove the languages and then the next time an update was released I could not update. To fix I would do a total uninstall through a third party uninstall app that would remove everything, including the pref files and app support files. Then after a clean install with all the languages, the updates would be applied with no problem.
