This tutorial was created following the discussion in this other post. https://msfn.org/board/topic/181623-updates-office-2007/page/5/ We will be working with the WSUS Offline Update program. Until 2020 it had current versions and long-term maintenance ESR versions. https://download.wsusoffline.net/ The program is currently only relatively community-maintained with versions up to 2021 called CE with links to GitLab provided on the forum and no current version is compatible with Office 2003/2007/2010. https://gitlab.com/wsusoffline/wsusoffline/-/releases WSUS Offline Update 9.2.6 ESR (2019-11-08) is the latest version with the option to get updates for Office 2003/2007. The download link is not listed on the official page but the download is done from the official server. https://download.wsusoffline.net/wsusoffline926.zip WSUS Offline Update 11.9.6 ESR CE (2020-10-23) is the latest version with the option to get updates for Office 2010 and requires Windows Seven (maybe it works on Vista). https://gitlab.com/-/project/19504919/uploads/20adc1fc933dda0367de405e907da7cd/wsusofflineCE1196.zip STEPS PRIOR TO RUNNING WSUS OFFLINE UPDATE We download WSUS and unzip it to make some modifications prior to its execution. 1- Get WSUS to download old updates without "Secure Hash Algorithm". Using Notepad++ (v. 7.9.2 latest XP compatible) we modified the DownloadUpdates.cmd file in the "cmd" folder by adding "--no-check-certificate" in the following line: -WSUS 9.2.6 line 206 " set DLDR_PATH=..\bin\wget.exe --no-check-certificate" -WSUS 11.9.6 line 261 " set DLDR_PATH=%WGET_PATH% --no-check-certificate" Thanks @AstroSkipper 2- Add pause in the CMD window during the execution of WSUS to get an old wsusscn2.cab version to be pasted into the client/wsus folder. *In the case of WSUS 9.2.6 the last working wsusscn2.cab version is dated 2019-11-13 if you try to work with newer versions thousands of files (13 GiB) are downloaded that do not contain any updates for Microsoft Office, there are others that are not related to Office, such as random updates for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Seven/10, .NET, etc. but others that are not related to Office such as random updates for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Seven/10, .NET, etc. To work with an older version of wsusscn2.cab we will modify the following line in the "DownloadUpdates.cmd" file in the "cmd" folder by adding the "pause" command. -WSUS 9.2.6 line 978 -WSUS 11.9.6 line 1168 echo The script has stopped before extracting package.xml from the current wsusscn2.cab file. You can now manually replace it with an older one. pause Thanks @AstroSkipper 3- Add pause to CMD window before creating ISO file to add downloads that fail. We modified the following line in the "CreateISOImage.cmd" file in the "cmd" folder by adding the "pause" command. -WSUS 9.2.6 line 3 -WSUS 11.9.6 line 4 echo The script has been paused before creating the ISO file. Manually add the updates with failed download. pause Thanks @AstroSkipper 4- Get the files needed to run WSUS that are located in the main root bin folder and whose download fails. *There are 2 bin folders, I have not checked if it is also necessary to place them in the other bin folder located in client\bin. I have included them in both folders. -WSUS 9.2.6 \bin mkisofs exe sigcheck exe (v2.30 latest XP supported) http://wayback.archive.org/web/20160618051340/http://skwire.dcmembers.com/apps/sigcheckgui/SigcheckGUI.zip wget exe (the file that comes with WSUS is faulty) (v1.19.4 latest XP supported) https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/1.19.4/32/wget.exe https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/ -WSUS 11.9.6 \bin mkisofs exe Also in WSUS 9.2.6 we have to include the static download link for "sigcheck v2.30" inside the file "StaticDownloadLinks-sysinternals.txt" located in the "static" folder, replacing the current one which is not compatible with Windows XP and leaving the file: http://download.sysinternals.com/files/AutoLogon.zip http://wayback.archive.org/web/20160618051340/http://skwire.dcmembers.com/apps/sigcheckgui/SigcheckGUI.zip http://download.sysinternals.com/files/Streams.zip 5- Get static updates for the Office 2010 x64-bit version. Dynamic updates are downloaded in separate .CAB files for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions, but WSUS Offline Update does not have an option to download 64-bit static updates. There are two new .TXT files that go in the \static\custom folder. They contain the links to SP2 x64 and two more files. https://forums.wsusoffline.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9818 *files versions for Office 2010 32-bit are automatically downloaded with WSUS 11.9.6 but are not downloaded with WSUS 9.2.6. NOTES: The steps above also help us to obtain updates for Windows XP or higher (previous versions do not work), .NET Framework and C++ if we check the corresponding options. Updates for .NET Framework: -If we want to avoid .NET updates that are not compatible with a version of Windows, we must exclude them in these 2 files in the "exclude" folder: ExcludeList-dotnet-x32.txt ExcludeList-dotnet-x64.txt For example, to avoid updates that are not compatible with XP, we must edit these 2 files, adding to each one: ndp45- ndp46- ndp47- ndp48- * the final dash is part of the text of the name of the excluded file. We must take into account that for any language, several files are also downloaded in German, such as "dotnetfx35langpack_x86de exe", which must be replaced manually with the corresponding one for our language or the following two files in the "static" folder must be modified, replacing the links in German: StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet-x32-glb.txt StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet-x64-glb.txt -All .NET Framework installers included in the two previous files and any additional language packs that are also included will be downloaded. In no WSUS Update Offline version is there a link to download the .NET Framework 1.1 installer, from which its updates are downloaded. Updates for Windows XP: -We must take into account that WSUS Offline Update 9.2.6 includes the updates for the XP Embedded version, if we do not want to download them we have to use WSUS 9.2.5. -The WindowsXP-KB968930-x86 file is downloaded in the UK English language version (ENG), if we want it in our language we have to replace it. *IMPORTANT: I have not checked, if After adding files with names not contained in the wsusscn2.cab downloads, if you run UpdateInstaller exe to install the updates, these new files are installed. FINAL STEPS AFTER PREVIOUS MODIFICATIONS After the previous steps... 1- Check that we have the files necessary to run WSUS in these folders \bin \client\bin \cmd \static Do not add the other downloads that fail yet, as they may not do so and the pasted files may be deleted during the download. 2- Paste the current wsusscn2.cab version in the client\wsus folder or let it download automatically when WSUS is run. 3- Run UpdateGenerator exe Uncheck all options except "ISO" and optionally Service Packs. Choose our desired latest update download and press "Start". The downloads performed are not linked to the operating system from which WSUS Offline Update is run or to whether we have one or another Microsoft Office version installed. These are independent, if the downloads number varies from one operating system to another it is due to an error in the program. 4- Paste an older wsusscn2.cab version when the message appears. (the message appears if you have "Pause" enabled in DownloadUpdates.cmd) For WSUS 9.2.6 for Office 2003 and 2007, version 2019-04-07 is recommended (the oldest version that contains all the updates) http://web.archive.org/web/20190420162709/http://download.windowsupdate.com/microsoftupdate/v6/wsusscan/wsusscn2.cab For WSUS 9.2.6 for Office 2010, version 2019-11-13 is recommended (the last version that works with WSUS 9.2.6). This does not contain the latest updates for Office 2010, if we want to get them it has to be from WSUS Offline Update 11.9.6 which is not compatible with Windows XP. http://web.archive.org/web/20191209214827/http://download.windowsupdate.com/microsoftupdate/v6/wsusscan/wsusscn2.cab For WSUS 11.9.6 for Office 2010, version 2023-11-14 (581 MiB) is recommended http://web.archive.org/web/20231114200328/http://download.windowsupdate.com/microsoftupdate/v6/wsusscan/wsusscn2.cab as the file is 215 MiB smaller than the older version that contains all updates for Office 2010 from 2021-04-13 (796 MiB) http://web.archive.org/web/20210504233947/http://download.windowsupdate.com/microsoftupdate/v6/wsusscan/wsusscn2.cab WSUS 9.2.6 running from Windows Seven asks for 800 dynamic downloads for Office 2003/2007. From Windows XP searching for updates for Office 2003/2007 may fail and WSUS 9.2.6 will ask for 2529 downloads. The error is due to the file "ExcludeList-superseded.txt" not being created correctly in the "exclude" folder. Once the problem is corrected WSUS 9.2.6 will also ask for 800 downloads from XP. You should check if the "ExcludeList-superseded.txt" file in the "exclude" folder is not empty after WSUS 9.2.6 checks the current "wsusscn2.cab" version. In this case, close the CMD download window but do not close the WSUS program, paste a correct copy of "ExcludeList-superseded.txt" and press Start again. If it fails, try repeating the process until it works. Sometimes everything fails, restart Windows and try again. The "ExcludeList-superseded.txt" file can be extracted by searching for other updates than Office 2003/2007 with WSUS 9.2.6. With Office 2010 from WSUS 9.2.6 there is no such problem, although more files are also downloaded than with WSUS 11.9.6, since dynamic updates contain updates for all Office versions that the WSUS version supports. 6- Look in the log for the failed downloads when the message to burn ISO appears. Open the download.log file located in the log folder and look for the links that say "failed". The correct file location folder is just above the "failed" message indicating the path to the folder. 7- Get the files whose download failed and paste them into the corresponding folders before creating the ISO file. (make a copy in a separate folder beforehand because these may disappear if we run WSUS again and it is not configured correctly) If many files appear with the error failed (more than 6 approx.) you should stop the operation and go back to step 4. So many failed downloads means that the connection has failed and some of these are actually available, you should try to download them again by running WSUS again. It is also possible that we have not added the "--no-check-certificate" command in the DownloadUpdates.cmd file. In my opinion, it is a good idea to delete the log before starting the process again to have a clean text or save the previous one as an old copy. 8- Before creating the ISO file, check if the text "unknow error" appears in the log. This means a connection error or similar during update downloads. In this case, we must stop the operation and return to step 4 (run UpdateGenerator.exe again) until the error disappears. 9- Continue with the ISO creation. *Remember that dynamic updates are downloaded for all Office versions that contain a WSUS Offline Update option, even if only Office 2003 (v.11), 2007 (v.12) or 2010 (v.14) is selected, updates for Office 2013 (v.15) and Office 2016/2019/2021 (all v.16) will be downloaded. If we only want updates for Office 2010 we have to open all the .CAB files one by one and see which version appears in the .XML file. 10- Before installing updates for Office 2007/2010 on XP with UpdateInstaller.exe it is necessary to first install the "Office 2xxx Upsourcer" patch with its prerequisites so that they are compatible with XP. https://msfn.org/board/topic/181623-updates-office-2007/?do=findComment&comment=1270419

Microsoft released in a TechNet blog post on February 1st that Office 2019 (Scheduled for release later in 2018) Will only be supported on Windows 10. They also reveal in the post that it will be supported for only 7 years (5 Mainstream, 2 Extended) Rather than the usual 10 years. Office 365 will suffer a similar fate in 2020 it would seem. Source: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsitpro/2018/02/01/changes-to-office-and-windows-servicing-and-support/ EDIT: Albeit unsupported, It has been made to work on Windows 8.x. Not like anyone needs new versions of office, anyways...

Office 2007/2010/2013/2016 repacked and renamed updates (MSP). Exactly as originals, but internal CABs are repacked with LZX:21. All other data untouched. Saves space on installation media (updates folder) and in %WINDIR%\Installer. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/6y19/GbatZ9KiR

My university uses the web-based Outlook 365 for our student e-mail. I'd like to be able to read and send school e-mails through Outlook Express without having to open my web browser. I've heard of people doing this with their Gmail account. Does anyone know if this is possible with Outlook 365 and how to do it?
