Why is it necessary (or advisable) to go through this rigamarole? I do Office updates by clicking "Check for Updates" in the Help menu of one of the Office apps. The MAU window pops up. I quit any open Office apps, and let the updater run. I check again for additional updates and let the updater run again. Lather, rinse, repeat. I've never had any problems with MS updates done this way. I've had OTHER problems with MS apps, but those are almost always related to bad choices in user interface design. Don't get me started on that topic... -- Julian Vrieslander <[email protected]> -- YouTalk mailing list List address: [email protected] List information: http://entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
