Installing Office 2008 for Mac updates in a corporate environment

Microsoft regularly updates its software to improve performance, improve security, or update features. These updates are released either as an incremental release or a combo release.

An incremental release includes only the files that differ from the last updated release. A combo release includes fixes from all the incremental releases since the last combo release.

For example, the Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.3 Update combo release includes fixes from the previous incremental releases: Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.1 Update and Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.2 Update. Therefore, a user who has Office 2008 SP1 Update will be able to directly install the Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.3 Update combo release.

Note For Office 2008, a combo release includes updates only from Office 2008 SP1 Update.

To deploy Office 2008 for Mac incremental release updates to client computers from a central location, create your own Office 2008 image with the latest updates installed. Then deploy this image to the users in the network.

For more information about the different methods to deploy Office 2008 to your user environment, see Deployment methods for Office 2008 in the Office 2008 Planning section.

The following steps provide guidance on how to create your own Office 2008 for Mac image with updates and deploy to client computers:

1. Create a network installation point

2. Install Office 2008 for Mac

3. Install the latest updates

4. Package the new image

The following example uses PackageMaker (a tool that helps create installer packages) to create the new Office 2008 for Mac metapackage.

Note PackageMaker is included in the Apple’s Developer Tools and is located in the /Developer/Applications folder. Depending on the version that you are using, the PackageMaker user interface will differ.

To define your Office package’s payload (product files), locate the Office 2008 for Mac components to be included in the package and add them to the Contents pane in the project window of the PackageMaker. If you are using PackageMaker 3.0.3, we recommend that you include the Office folder, Additional Tools folder, Fonts folder, Automator, and the different applications as individual components before you create the metapackage. Including the whole Office 2008 for Mac folder as one component could cause PackageMaker to stop responding.
Drag the following files and folders into the PackageMaker:
- /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Additional Tools
- /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office
- /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Entourage.app
- /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Excel.app
- /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/PowerPoint.app
- /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Word.app
- /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Messenger.app
- /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/ReadMe.html
- /Library/Automator
- /Library/Application Support/Microsoft
- /Library/Fonts/Microsoft

In the Configuration tab, specify the following Install and Destination paths.

Office 2008 component	Install	Destination
Additional Tools	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Additional Tools	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Additional Tools
Office folder	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office
Microsoft Entourage	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Entourage.app	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/
Microsoft Excel	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Excel.app	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/
Microsoft PowerPoint	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/PowerPoint.app	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/
Microsoft Word	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Word.app	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/
Microsoft Messenger	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Messenger.app	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/
ReadMe.HTML	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/ReadMe.html	/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/
Application Support	/Library/Application Support/Microsoft	/Library/Application Support/Microsoft
Automator	/Library/Automator	/Library/Automator
Fonts	/Library/Fonts	/Library/Fonts

Save your project file and build it to create the metapackage for distribution.
