Just tried to install Service Pack 2 for 32 bit version, both from Windows Update and from the Microsoft download page.  Neither install will complete.  Anyone else having this problem?

    For better assistance, we would like to know more information about your concern.

    • What is the exact error that you encounter when you tried to install Word 2010?
    • How did you try to install it?
    • Are you trying to install a standalone Word 2010 or is it part of Office suite?

    Regards.

    Now that XP is no longer supported, I decided to change to W7. When I installed Office 2010 (32-bit, obtained by download), I thought that I might just as well install SP2. It failed repeatedly. Having looked here and elsewhere, I eventually found a solution

    • it is all to do with the location of the installation files.

    Step 1: run the Office 2010 installation programme again until it has extracted the files and you have the yellow window headed, "Change your installation of ..."

    Step 2: using Windows Explorer browse to the folder, "C:\Users*your user name*\AppData\Local\Temp\OWPE476.TMP".

    Step 3: copy the contents of this folder to the root of a USB stick.

    Step 4: copy SP2 installation file to the same place.

    Step 5: if you backed up your system before installing Office 2010, well done! Recover the system. (Going back to a restore point might work here too.) Otherwise start again from scratch!

    Step 6: using your USB stick files, install Office 2010 by using setup.exe directly.

    Step 7: run the SP2 installation file from the USB stick.

    That took time and effort to work out - what a palaver!

    In theory, an alternative approach is to use Windows Update, but persuading it to update other Microsoft products may take a similar degree of persistence.

    Good luck!!!
