Cannot update Microsoft Office 2011 I have tried numerous ways to fix this problem :


Clean uninstall and re-install of Office 2011
Download individual updates
Download older Office updates


I always stop at "Destination Select" step of installation, where a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark appears on top of the harddisk image. Saying that  A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume.

I had Microsoft Office 2011 running perfectly before, but after deleting it and reinstalling it later, the whole problem started occuring.

I can install office 2011 14.0.0, 14.1.0 and 14.2.0 individually. However I cannot update them to any versions in between, including the full versions (14.0 to 14.1 or 14.1 to 14.2).

Oh and also, I sometimes get this error when I tried installing BUT word runs fine afterwards, although installation fails.



Would like to hear some advice. Thank you



I am not sure if this may cause it, but I have two-sided printing package installed :

The option is always there even after uninstalling and reinstalling, but I don't think this might be causing the error right ?
Quit all Office applications, and move com.microsoft.autoupdate and com.microsoft.office.plist from ~/Library/Preferences ... and any MicrosoftRegistrationDB .plists &amp; the MicrosoftRegistrationDB.plist.lockfile from ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost to the desktop.

You may have to input your password for some of this. Start up an Office app again and see if this helps. The applications rebuild their preferences files. You may have to enter your registration code again.
