Updates for MS Office 2010 still install on Windows XP (KB4484454 and KB4092435 were even offered by Microsoft Update) - except that after installing KB4484454, you traditionally have to roll back to the old version of mso.dll.

Dave-H Posted August 12, 2020 Author Posted August 12, 2020 Quote KB4484454 and KB4092435 were even offered by Microsoft Update When was that? Were they offered before Microsoft Update was withdrawn as far as XP is concerned? I've never seen them.

I've never seen them. Mea culpa! The "update history" shows that it was actually different: MU reported these 2 updates on Windows 10, and since there were offline installers for both of these patches, I downloaded and installed them manually on Windows XP. Which does not change the fact that updates to MS Office 2010 can still be installed in Windows XP.
Dave-H Posted August 12, 2020 Author Posted August 12, 2020 Ah, thanks for the clarification, good to know that the latest updates do install on XP, I was worried that they might not have the necessary signing now.
Dave-H Posted August 14, 2020 Author Posted August 14, 2020 Finally got around to installing the patches, all OK apart from, as has been said, KB4484454 which contains another XP incompatible MSO.DLL. All fine as usual after the old one was put back. Let's hope the next two batches of Office 2010 updates, which will be the last ones, are still signed with SHA1 so they will install on XP. It will be very annoying if they aren't when it's so near to EOS anyway! 1
Dave-H Posted September 9, 2020 Author Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Four updates today. KB4484530 (Office) KB4484532 (Office) KB4486660 (Word) KB4486665 (Excel) KB4484530 contains another XP incompatible version of MSO.DLL. All downloaded from the Update Catalogue and installed manually. I guess next month's updates, if any, will be the last! Edited September 14, 2020 by Dave-H Typo 1
assenort Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Dave-H, thank you for giving us these heads-up. Appreciate your time and efforts. Stay well! Playing Iron Maiden's "Empire of the Clouds" in your honor now :-) 1
JerrMSFN Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Thanks so much for keeping us informed on this. I am have been using a saved off MSO.DLL to keep Office 2010 going on XP, as I found out how to do on this thread. Thanks so much! But, several weeks ago, I found out that both of my XP systems won't run Microsoft Update any more. So, I can't even look at my history. Is Microsoft Update gone? Of is it just gone for XP? Or might I have another problem? Thanks for any help! I get a connection problem message... Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage What you can try: Diagnose Connection Problems

Microsoft shut down Windows Update for XP, Vista and older, but it should still work for Windows 7 and newer provided that SHA-2 support has been installed: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4569557/windows-update-sha-1-based-endpoints-discontinued 1

That will show you all the updates you have made, including (on XP) what files they replaced! As long as your update history files remain intact, that should always work. 1

Dave-H Posted September 22, 2020 Author Posted September 22, 2020 This is true, but I like to see the file update information in the older version. It doesn't do that on Windows versions newer than XP though, so the later version would probably be better on later operating systems. 1
Dave-H Posted September 25, 2020 Author Posted September 25, 2020 Amazingly, two updates today! KB4092435 (PowerPoint) KB4484497 (Outlook) Both offered and installed through Microsoft Update, which I was pretty convinced would never work again! No MSO.DLL replacement. Why these were suddenly rolled out a couple of weeks before the next Patch Tuesday, when I was expecting the very last set of updates for Office 2010, I have no idea!
