Installing Office Security Update

Question

_{Friday, February 9, 2018 12:48 PM}

Hi everyone,

Have problems to get an Office Patch back on.

I had downloaded but cannot install a small problematic CAB file (has one msp and xml) within it which we feel it's knocking out one of our Bespoke Add-In in our environment.

Microsoft 32bit Download path:

KB4011052

Does anyone know how to re-install this. I have used the wusa commands (file does not exist) as well as the dism commands (error 2), as it's not a Windows Security Update, but a Microsoft Office Security Update.

Any command line or other suggestions (without installing 3rd party software) would be great.

Thanks all

Not tried this as do not have Office 2016 but;

Add-WindowsPackage -Online -PackagePath .\outlook-x-none_1adfe7f72683f0e92818938997bc3
7569513ba6e.cab

The Add-WindowsPackage may do it.

Thanks for your reply but the DISM.exe command using the switch you mentioned will not work on these smaller patches. Only on the larger Cumulative updates.

Anyways...

Found the problem, as it was a MSU file sitting within a CAB file pushed out via SCCM, (The common problem of the outlook-x-none.msp breaking Outlook add-ins, MS Vault, MS Dynamics CRM and our bespoke Outlook Add-ins), the CAB file was installed and required another component.

Had to uninstall a few releases with different KB numbers of patching (search 'OUTLOOK' in installed applications) to get to the problematic patch. Re-installed it back on and proved this is definitely a Microsoft patching problem...

Therefore, it will only re-install back using the path:

c:\windows\installer folder in W10 using the following command:

msiexec.exe /update c:\windows\installer\xxxxx.msp

All the files names have been renamed, but can be ran by doing a bit of hunting in the registry in the HKLM and Class Hives for the name.

Let me know if you need how to locate the patch KB to the filename in the registry.

Thanks all
