Cannot install Office 2008 for Mac 12.0.1 Update

[rosebud]

I'm currently running Office 2008 Student & Teacher Edition on OS X (10.5.2).
When I ran the Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.0.1 Update, the installer
informed me:

You cannot install Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.0.1 Update on this
volume. A version of the software required to install this update was not
found on this volume.

Any clues why this happened? Is there a different update package for the
Student & Teacher Edition?

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
