Try this -

Apparently upload.ee does not allow Guerrilla Mail addresses because upload is 100% complete but NO EMAIL for download has arrived.

In-process. Upload speed is very slow.

These are the only three that I seem to have -

I found two more on your list. I really really REALLY do *NOT* install *ANY* of these anymore. And I run Office 2007 *daily*. Regular install from original install disk with *NO UPDATES OF ANY KIND*. I'll keep digging. I used to use a program called "AutoPatcher" and I 'thought' I archived a version after it downloaded 'everything'. Can't find it thus far in my stacks and stacks and stacks of DVD-R's.

Sometimes all I can do is laugh at myself. I spent the better part of two days in Ghidra comparing/contrasting Chrome++ version 1.11.1 and version 1.13.3. I wanted either - a) restore 1.11.1's approach for launch_on_exit= to 1.13.3, or b) add 1.13.3's ability to add itself to Chrome/Chromium's "about" page to 1.11.1 And all that time in Ghidra DID SOLVE MY ISSUE. ie, here is Chrome v140's "about" page showing that Chrome++ version 1.11.1 is being used. Only then did I discover this and adding this MANUALLY as a command_line= option also works (and much easier than digging through Ghidra, lol).

That one is available at -- https://erpman1.tripod.com/offupd1.html Disregard, that site's link gives a 404. I do not have any file-sharing accounts, so I have no way to upload.

This looks like a great resource, but it too only has one of your list -- https://erpman1.tripod.com/offupd1.html Where is that list coming from, what makes you think you need the items in that list?

There is also this (again, did not read, I only install my Office then never update beyond that, just install and that's it) -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/186436-offline-updates-for-office-200320072010-with-wsus-offline-update-tutorial/

There is this thread here at MSFN, I did not read any of it, but maybe there's something here to get you rolling -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/181623-updates-office-2007/

I'm only showing one out of that whole list. I do not even install these anymore! I still use Office 2007, but when I install it, that's it, NO UPDATES of any kind.

Um... Why? 1) I personally feel as if the "like" feature of this website is RUINING IT! Turns the website into some sort of KIDDIE GAME. Truly USEFUL members have little to no "rep points" because the KIDS are not logging in EVERY DAY to fill their QUOTA for the USEFUL posts. Rather, they only hunt for their "favorite people" (useful or not) and click that d@mn "like", even if that post was from DECADES AGO because that's what it took to fulfil that daily QUOTA. It's not against forum rules, so "carry on, you're doing great work". 2) I started using Chrome++ years ago, and it wasn't by the mention of the person requesting a "thumbs up" Did I give a thumbs up at the time? Don't recall. Is it really important "years later"? I assure you, THAT person is not REQUESTING (edit) SOLICITING FOR a "thumbs up". 3) Technically, I only "replied" because POSTING NEW TOPICS IS (edit) WAS CURRENTLY BROKEN.

Well that was short-lived. I have officially reverted back to version 1.11.1. Despite it not showing up in Help -> About for Chrome/Chromium version v140, everything seems to be working just fine. I can "live with" it not being shown in Help -> About.

If I had to "guess", it has been this way ever since the day we went offline for "maintenance" all an account of OVER ONE HUNDRED consecutive spam posts for INTUIT TURBOTAX / QUICKBOOKS. We went offline for several hours, perhaps even an entire day.

There have been *at least* three reports of this. People have posted in "old" topics and start off their post with saying they had to reply semi-off-topic because they could not start a new topic. I'm not going to spend the time to hunt them down. At least three in recent weeks. But time alludes me at times, maybe it's been a month, maybe three months, no clue. But others *HAVE CITED* this issue where they could not start a new topic.

You can "create" and start the process of a new topic, but it fails when you hit submit.

Yep, sure enough. My bank now forces Chrome/Chromium v140 as minimum *IF* you want to avoid two-step PITA login (ie, text or email code after username/password). Two-step is a enough of a PITA that I just upgraded everything in the house from Chrome/Chromium v136 to v140. Funny thing is, my bank still works with 360Chrome's v86 if you don't mind the added step of text or email code after the username/password. "Most" of Chrome++ version 1.11.1 seemed to be working fine. But not having it displayed in Help/About made me leary of not upgrading. And I don't think it was applying all of the startup parameters. I didn't keep it long enough to see just what was and was not working. I'm okay with upgrading it to v1.13.3 but I will NOT be using its launch_on_exit feature when ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES do the job BETTER.

Disregard. Reverted to WinPenPack's launcher and using its [RunAfter] section instead of Chrome++'s launch_on_exit= section.

Today, I updated my Chrome++ from version 1.11.1 to the most-recent version 1.13.3 (due to older versions do not properly work with Chrome versions v140 or newer). I use the launch_on_exit= feature of Chrome++. v1.11.1 would run a .bat file on exit WITHOUT popping up a flash of a command window. v1.13.3 flashes up a command window, cycles through the line items of the .bat file, then closes the command window. How do I prevent the FLASH on, closes when completed, command window from FLASHING on, kind of an EYE SORE.

Seems NEW TOPICS are no longer allowed to be posted here at MSFN. I know it's not just me because SEVERAL others have cited this in recent weeks. We have to reply to current topics instead.

Well, I for one certainly hope that metro uwp framework and immersive shell *NEVER* gets backported to XP, lol.

Thanks as always to a thoughtful writeup. I'll add my own slight additions. I myself have not "installed" any software for the better part of two decades, I do as much as possible via PORTABLE applications. PortableApps.com popularized the use of portable software. They began in 2006. WinPenPack has actually been around for slightly longer (by mere months, not years). You go even further back (by years) when you include those of us with familiarity to UNIX. With regard to associations with protocols/files/applications, portable software isn't really about not having these associations, but rather having exact and precise finite control of these associations. This PRECISE CONTROL is really only limited by the user's own intentions/imagination. You really can have this PRECISE CONTROL be as simple or as complex as your heart desires. Your "host system" does NOT have to have *ANY* 'default browser' associations, no txt file associations, no ini associations, no pdf associations, no mkv/avi/mp4 associations. NO ASSOCIATIONS of any kind. But you can mix-and-match to your heart's content. Associate 'browser' protocols (http/https/ftp, for example) to all use Firefox *ONLY IF* PortableApps PLATFORM is running in the systray. But roll those ftp protocols over to something like CuteFTP *ONLY* if LiberKey is running in the systray. Split your media file associations so that audio files divert to VLC Player, mkv files divert to PotPlayer, mp4 files divert to Media Player Classic, and avi files divert to TEncoder Video Converter. "Portable" really can be as simple or as complex as you "need it to be".

No, not really. That is the "this is not an INSTALLER, just EXTRACT and EXECUTE" version. To make it PORTABLE, you have to "wrap it" wit a LOADER so that the .exe doesn't save files outside of its own directory, so that it doesn't make permanent changes to the registry, etc.
