Ditto and I would like to know where the text file is located so I can
manually add the the 12.0.1 update. Since the MAU 2.1.1 was not an
Official Office update, I question if an update file has been generated?

This is acting like the Apple Software Update. The update log only logs
items installed by the MAU. Since we downloaded and installed the
12.0.1 updater, the MAU did not list the update.

If someone gets the MAU to work, please let the rest of us know what it
says when you click on Installed Updates. I would like to know how to
modify a file so the update is displayed.

Cannot install Office 2008 for Mac 12.0.1 Update

Trouble Installing Update

1. The Installer does not support updating an application in a location
other than a bootable partition. You will need to move the application back
to a bootable partition get the updater to work. You can move it back after
updating. (This is a Apple installer function.)

2. The updater will only update the RTM version. You should check the
MicrosoftComponentPlugin.framework and the applications should be 12.0.0
(071130) (European build numbers could be different)

3. If the updater fails or says it cannot find a version of Office that
needs updating, then reboot and try again.

4. Apply the latest Apple Combo updater. It will overwrite files that might
have become corrupt.

Remember to restart after updating and run Repair Permissions

You simply need to drag the application icon from the Office folder to the
dock when in that User. The installer cannot do anything in another User
when run. By installing in the root application folder, Office applications
are available for all users.

Drag an icon to the dock makes it stay there

If you open an application, it will show in the dock but will disappear when
you quit unless you click and hold on the icon and select to "Keep in Dock"

Office 2008 and MAC G4 Compatability

With 512 MB of RAM you hardly have enough RAM to run the OS. You are not
going to see an increase in speed. You will most likely see stalls and
slowdowns. I have G4 Dual 1.42 GHZ, Memory 2GB, Mac OS X 10.5.2 and it runs
OK. If you upgrade your RAM it will be like getting a new computer. Then if
you are interested in getting Office 2008 for it's new features, you should
see decent performance.

You didn't mention how much free space you have on your HD. This can affect
performance also.

install of Office 2004 freezes at User Information screen

Posted: 10 Mar 2008 10:00 AM PDT

Hi Bob,

I'm pretty sure I currently don't have Test Drive installed. I had been running Office 2004 in Leopard (with Test Drive still installed) and then had a huge crash and had to wipe the hard disk and restore from Time Machine backup. After that, Office kept on freezing, so I used the Remove Office utility to remove all installations of Office. It's at that point that I tried, and failed, to reinstall it.

Now, though, the plot thickens! After reading your response, I tried to use Remove Office again, and it told me I didn't have permission to uninstall office, and that I should do it under the user that installed it. Since I WAS the user that installed it, I first checked that it's not installed under any other users (it's not) and then repaired permissions. But I'm still getting the same message when I run Remove Office. Ack! This is nuts.

The exact version of OS X I'm using is 10.5.2, and the install disk of Office 2004 I have says "MS Office 2004 Mac Pro (Office 2004 Mac Standard)", and the name of my school and "For Microsoft Licensed Campus and School Customers' Use Only" (this is a computer in a laboratory). Is there any other information that would help?

Thank you!!

-Emily

Check for duplicate Microsoft Database daemon in Startup Items. If you have
more than one delete all and Entourage will create a new one.

I think you can try a utility called Advanced Word Repair to repair
