New Installation & Update

[alanedinger]

I just purchased a new iMac
I also purchased another copy of office.

After office installed, the auto updater loaded the 11.3.9

Then later the auto updater wanted to install 11.3.8.
-At this point I did not do this update, but read the update info
pages. Each update states that the previous update needs to be
installed FIRST, clear back to 11.3.5

So, since the auto updater installed the 11.3.9 version, do I need to
actually install the other regressive updates?
or was that update all-inclusive.
or do I need to uninstall office and reinstall, then manually install
the updates because the auto updater doesn't properly handle updates.
or am I good to go?

BTW Office runs just fine at this point.

Thanks,
-A

This is speculation, but since Office is running fine, I'd guess that
you're OK. Check Word's version number - it should be 11.3.8, with the
11.3.9 updater applied (XL's at 11.3.7, and Entourage at 11.3.6).

If it's not, download and run the 10.3.5 - 10.3.9 updaters from
MacTopia. You shouldn't need to uninstall first.

Ok,

I'll check those when I get back to that machine.

I already downloaded all the separate updates just in case.

Seems weird, but you're saying that I can, at this point, just install
all the updates form 11.3.5 - 11.3.9 in order and be done with it -
even with 11.3.9 already being loaded/

Thanks.

Check the Microsoft Component Plugin in the Office folder. It will show what
update has been applied.
