Microsoft Office 2007 Forum

Hello,

How does one go about installing service packs and updates? I tried downloading the SP1 .exe and installing it as an "unsupported" application but this didn't work. Same if I just run the .exe. I get a dialog "The installation of this package failed."

And along a similar vein, I would like to simply be able to install updates via update.microsoft.com rather than needing to download/install individual patches. However, my IE menubar is black so I can't enable cookies or install any sort of ActiveX controls (insalled directly rather than downloading IE6 from microsoft.com...there is apparently a registry hack to resolve this but you've got me as to how to edit registry in Wine...)

Thanks,
😛hil

The SP1 update for Office 2007 doesn't install yet, we're working on that.

The black bar is caused by IE6 running from a non-win98 bottle. Install IE6 in a win98 bottle to get it going.

I've just "succeeded" installing the update to save a document as PDF. The installation went smoothly, but it doesn't work. The procedure works fine, but when you press the Save button, a message pops up saying "The file wasn't saved." But maybe this is because I did a mistake installing it?

I've used the same bottle -----(XP) I used to install the Office Enterprise 2007 in CrossOver Professional Linux 7.1

I've had the same results (failure) installing SP 1 & SP 2, even under CrossOver 8.0.0. There's a separate app entry for Office 2007 SP 1. I've posted there as well -- no explanation yet, but perhaps one will come.
