	Mar 13 2008	GWHJELM Micrsoft updater doesn't work in my computer. I have a Mac Pro with a OXS 10.5 sytem that I use professionally for Photography. This system has professional applications like Adobe CS3, Realviz 5.6, Lightroom 1.1 and alot of other programs that are updated through an Automatic Updater. Yours (micrsoft) doesn't work. When the Updater gives you the first screen it wants to know if you want the update, and I mark yes in the box. Then it asks me for my authentication and I do that, and then it asks for to close the following programs and I do that. From this point the updater will not work and no methodology will get it to work. This is disappointing, because I use this program for so much in my business, but not if it is going to fail. Either allow the updates or I wil be forced to find another program that I can depend upon. (Version 2.1.1)		0

K0GG MacUpdate have updated the description now from "To receive future product updates, you must install this update." to "To receive future Office 2008 updates, you must install this update." ...a bit of a difference!

Like you, I found out the hard way.

LAMBCHOP I still am unable to install this recent MS update. Followed all suggestions: "Help" > "Updates" after opening up Word. Screen stated that there are NO UPDATES at this time. I then went into Applications>MS Updates and got the SAME message. I bought my Macbook & MS Office for Mac 2004 on Dec. 5. 2007. Am I even eligible to receive an MS 2008 upgrade? Is this AutoUpdate 2.1.1 solely available for MS 2008? From what I have read, users who have MS 2004 seem to be able to download it. HOW??????? TX 4 any/all advice :)

MACUPDATE ADMIN REQUIREMENTS:

Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, Office 2008.

And it says so on the MacUpdate product page for MS AutoUpdate.

LAMBCHOP Then why does my dashboard widget "application update" advise me to update to this version if it knows that I have MS 2004 installed on my computer? Once again, am I eligible to receive an upgrade from MS or Apple for MS 2008 since I purchased everything on Dec 5, 2007? Appreciate your time by answering my queries.

MACUPDATE ADMIN Who knows... All that is certain is that this is for Office 2008.

Thank MS for your troubles. Sorry.
