Office 2013 Rollout - Collect missing updates

I have dialed in my custom installer for Office 2013. What's the easiest way to gather all missing Office 2013 updates post-SP1 so I can drop them in the update folder?

@DonPick
I'm still making a final decision on whether or not to include all the patches at install time. If I wait for the Software Updates to come through then the user's first experience will not include everything. I'm concerned they may discover issues that are
directly related to the patch content, giving the user a false sense that IT doesn't know what they're doing =)
On a Windows 7 VM (1 CPU / 2 GB Memory) a complete uninstall of Office 2010 and install of Office 2013 32-Bit w/ SP1 took ~11 minutes to complete. This includes all the follow-up patches through May 2014. Of course my install package grew from ~850 MB to
~2 GB. Another issue I'm going to have to face....

Office 2013 and the KB3001652 update

I am using a click-to-run version of Office 2013 on my 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 system.
I do not allow Windows to update my system automatically.
Unless there is a good reason to do it more frequently, I use Windows Update every month to update my system manually.
For the last three months (February, March and April 2015), Windows Update has offered KB3001652 (update for Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime) as an important update.
At first, I didn’t know why this update was being offered.
I don’t have Visual Studio 2010 installed. But I later learnt that Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime comes as part of Office 2013, so KB3001652 appears to be a legitimate update for Office 2013.
However, I have still not installed the update.
I have the following queries:
Having installed a click-to-run version of Office 2013, I expected ALL updates to Office 2013 to be done automatically in the background.
In fact, I’m sure I read somewhere that no updates would come through the Windows Update route.
So why has this update come through Windows Update?
Does anyone know whether the KB3001652 update to Office 2013 will eventually be done as an automatic update in the background?
If you inspect the April updates to Office 2013 in support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3050766, the highest numbered individual update is still only KB2965279, so it might be a few months yet before KB3001652 is included (assuming it will be, of course).

Same problem here!. Giving the computer network access allows the control to be populated. Then I disabled and restarted and it seems to be ok....

Office 2013 simply refuses to update templates

Hi All,
Was wondering if you could help as i'm really getting thin on ideas now.
I've been working with Azure RMS for a couple of weeks with no problem but all of a sudden I can't get Office 2013 to update the custom templates I've been creating on multiple devices.
I've created custom templates before that have refreshed in Office perfectly but new ones simply will not download. As far as I'm aware everything is set as it should be in terms of the template is published and my user account is within the scope
of users who can use the template.
I have installed the RMS sharing app on my Win 8.1 machine and when right clicking a file to complete an in place protect the most up to date templates are present but whilst working directly within Word or Excel etc the templates are out of date.
I've tried all sorts of combinations of deleting the templates folder in: %AppData%\Local\Microsoft\MSIPC\Templates and deleting the LastUpdateTime dword, signing out of office and signing in again but nothing I try seems to help.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I could try?
Thanks in advance!

While this feature (departmental templates) is in Preview, Office applications don't recognize these templates, by default. From
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn642472.aspx#BKMK_HowToConfigureCustomTemplates, see step 8 and the behavior you're seeing:
Not all applications can support departmental templates. To do so, the application must first authenticate with the RMS service before downloading the templates. If the authentication process does not occur, by default, none of the departmental templates
are downloaded.
There is a script that you can run (see the Note) for this to work with Office applications during the Preview period. We were hoping to get the script on the Download Center, but it's currently on the Connect site. If you have problems accessing it,

Office 2013 keeps asking for updates

Hi guys,
Looked around but can't seem to find anything for this. Have a user on office 2013. Win7. Any time he opens up any office application he has a message saying the software needs updating. If we click OK, we get the message saying we are all up to date. If
we close the application down and open it again, or another office app, the update message is back!
Any way to get rid of this?
Thanks

Is your Office a Click-To-Run version or a MSI (traditional) version?
If it’s a MSI version, please go to Windows Update and check if you have installed all updates for Office. If you have all updates installed, and issue still occurs, please try to repair your Office 2013 from Control Panel.
If it’s a Click-To-Run version of Office 2013, by default, Click-to-Run will automatically check for updates in the background. Please retry the update check by disabling and then re-enabling updates in:
File->Account->Update Options.
Also, if you have specified an UpdatePath in the Configuration.xml while deploying Office 2013, please make sure you have an updated source in that path：http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_UpdatesElement
If updates still do not work, follow these steps to do an Online Repair:
1.Go to Control Panel
2.Click Programs and Features tab
3.Click on Microsoft Office, then Change
4.Click on Online Repair
5.Click on Repair

Can't install Windows 8 apps, office 2013, or windows 8 updates from work network.

Ever since the release of Office 365 I've noticed that I'm unable to complete the download of the office installation while I'm on my work network. If I switch to a wireless hotspot the download proceeds and installs like it's supposed to.
This same thing is true if I want to download an app from the windows store or if I want to install updates for a windows 8 machine. Has anybody run in to this or could anybody tell me what ports need to be opened in order to communicate with the new
Microsoft services? Thanks.

Office 2013 latest update broke new profile creation on all network computers

Hi,
Reporting a bug here!
Setup details:
We're using samba 3 as our backend and all workstation are Windows 7 Pro x64.
Office 2013 Home and Business Retail (en-us) Click 2 Run version
Context:
Deployed to the whole network of one of our client using the Office Deployement Tool.
We update their base update (no updates) to the latest update 15.0.4569.1508
Everything was working alright after initial Office 2013 installation with no updates. After updating the all the PCs to the latest version as of 31/03/2014, the user profile creation broke for newly created user.
Symptoms and causes:
Trying to log on as a new user on the machine would give the following error on Logon before automatically loging off because it cannot copy the following file to the new user profile:
D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_00.sqm
D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_01.sqm
D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_02.sqm
The Bici folder has Read and Execute permissions for everyone but the _XX.sqm files inside only have permissions (Full Control) for SYSTEM and Administrators and LOCAL SERVICE with the all permissions EXCEPT:
- FULL CONTROL
- TRAVERSE FOLDERS/EXECUTE FILES
- CHANGE PERMISSIONS
- TAKE OWNERSHIP
Solution:
I gave "everyone" Read and Execute permission on those files and the new user could log in and his profile got created alright.
The files with broken permissions time stamp shows they've been modified during the Office 2013 update and Bici seems to be a OneDrive related service. This bug should get fixed ASAP.
Event log error:
Windows cannot copy file \\?\D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_01.sqm to location \\?\D:\Users\TEMP\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_01.sqm. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.

Manually triggering updates in Office 2013

Hi,
Does anybody know how to manually trigger an update in Office 2013?
How to update immediately rather than auto /
scheduled?
Updating via Windows/Microsoft Updates doesn't seem to work??
Many thanks.

I found that if you do the following you can always trigger manual updates for Office 2013.
In the registry go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\propertyBag"
Add a string value named "updatetoversion" and set the data to your desired version (must be a recognized version in http://support.microsoft.com/gp/office-2013-click-to-run)
such as 15.0.4551.1512. This is KEY in making this work.
Make the following values are set to something that starts with http://officecdn.microsoft.com so that the updates are grabbed from Microsoft.
Here are what mine are set to (removed product ID just in case yours is different).
***All values are found in key location outlined in step 1.
- “baseurl” = “http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/<Product ID>/Office/Data/15.0.4517.1005”
(This version was my base version at install, do not change it if already set.
If not, set to whatever your base version was at install)
- “updatebaseurl” = “http://officecdn.microsoft.com”
(Make sure this one matches)
- “wwwbaseurl” = “http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/<Product ID>”
To Find your Product ID go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\ProductReleaseIDs\Active\Stream"
You will see value names that include the path of your install.
Don’t use that ID, look at what the data of that key is set to.
Such as “http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/<Product ID>/Office/Data/15.0.4551.1011/stream.x64.en-us.dat” and pull out your Product ID.
Ensure all the keys in Step 3 are in the format I listed but with YOUR Product’s ID in place of <Product ID>.
Now run the batch file that has the following content.
(Use ClientX86 for 32-bit)
cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64"
integratedoffice.exe updatedetection
integratedoffice.exe updatedownloadprompt
If it does not work correctly every time, break into 2 batch files and run one right after the other.
Batch file 1
cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64"
integratedoffice.exe updatedetection
Batch file 2
cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64"
integratedoffice.exe updatedownloadprompt
Good luck!

Office 2013: 10 Best Features You Should Know About

The new Office 2013 has some key updates that, while aren’t quite as dramatic as theWindows 8 from Windows 7change, still have some pretty cool features for mobile and desktop. Office 2013, will ship sometime next year at prices that have not been announced
yet. Check out the top 10 features:
Going Mobile. Microsoft has geared the new software towards a more mobile-friendly audience, allowing users to interact more
efficiently on mobile and tablets including finger and stylus controls that may help to spur Office’s migration to mobile devices. Another decidedly mobile move is Office Home and Student 2013 RT, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, will come
with ARM-based Windows 8 devices including Microsoft Surface .
In The Cloud. Microsoft’s SkyDrive cloud service is being positioned to play a key role in Office users’ daily computing
lives. Office 2013 will save your documents to SkyDrive by default, enabling you to access files from multiple devices, including a smartphone and tablet. When you sign into Office from another device, your personalized settings and recently used files
are already there for you. The new Office is available as a cloud-based subscription too. Office 365 is now also available for home-based users as well as businesses. Subscribers will get automatic upgrades, additional SkyDrive storage, multiple installs for
several users, and added perks such as international calls via Skype.
Finger and Stylus. Office 2013 embraces touch and pen input. The touch and stylus features are geared towards smartphones and
tablets, as well as multi-touch laptops. The touch features are the same as users are accustomed to on their smartphones and tablets; swipe a finger across the screen to turn a page, pinch and zoom to read documents, and write with a finger or stylus.
Metro Style. Office 2013 conforms to Microsoft’s “Metro” look that’s pervasive across the software developers latest mobile
apps. The Office Ribbon in Word 2013 has a flatter look than its predecessor in Word 2010.
PDF’s in Word. You can now edit PDF files in Word 2013 (yay!). Simply open a PDF as you would any other document. Word maintains
the formatting of the file which is fully editable. You can insert pictures and videos from online sites such as YouTube and Facebook as well. And readers can watch video clips from inside your document.
Excel. Excel offers some useful upgrades including new templates for budgets, calendars, forms, and reports. The new Quick
Analysis Lens lets you convert data to a chart or table in a couple of steps. Flash Fill recognizes patters in your data and automatically fills cells accordingly. For example: if you want to separate first and last names into separate columns simply begin
typing the first names in a new column, press Ctrl+E and Excel will copy the first names for you.
PowerPoint Has Gained Power. PowerPoint 2013 now sports an updated Start screen with a variety of new themes and color schemes.
The Presenter View now makes it easier to zoom in on a diagram, chart, or other detail that you want to emphasize to the audience. The Navigation Guide lets you switch slides, even move out of sequence, from a grid that you can see but your audience can’t.
Presentations can be worked on from different PCs by colleagues to create a single presentation. Comments are allowed and presentations are saved online by default to SkyDrive.
OneNote. OneNote automatically saves your notes to Skydrive, you don’t have to click “Save”, making your brainstorming sessions
readily available across multiple devices. OneNote 2013 allows you to grab screens and add them to your notebooks.
Skype Has Been Integrated. You can now integrate Skype contacts with Microsoft’s enterprise-oriented Lync communications platform
for calling and instant messaging. Office subscribers get 60 minutes of Skype international calls each month.
Going Social. Office now includes Yammer, a secure and private social network for businesses that Microsoft tentatively acquired.
Yammer integrates with SharePoint and Microsoft Dynamics, the company’s line of CRM and enterprise resource planning apps. Office 2013′s People Card tool provides detailed information about your contacts, including their status updates from Facebook and LinkedIn.

Awesome!
Thanks for sharing the greate experience here. This is a good summary of Office 2013 cool features which is definitely useful for those who want to learn about the new Office.
Thanks,

Office 2013 Service Pack 1 installation causes shim error in Windows 8.1 Enterprise

On a clean install of Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Office 2013 I installed RSAT and everything works fine initially. When I install the Office 2013 Server Pack 1 update (categorized as an "Important" update) I then get the following
errors when attempting to open Server Manager:
(I attempted to include an image of the error and a link to the KB article but it wouldn't allow that saying my account must be verified although there appears to be no way to actually verify my account. The "Verify Your Account 13" thread
doesn't help by the way.)
ServerManager.exe - This application could not be started. Do you want to view information about the issue?
Which if I click Yes it takes me to the page for this KB article:
KB2715633
The KB page refers to three different SHIM errors. The second two don’t apply to this scenario but the first seems to. Unfortunately the info on this one is:
“The app is not configured in a way that makes it possible to determine the appropriate version of the .NET Framework runtime.
You can't fix the configuration problem yourself. Contact the app vendor to resolve the issue.”
I've re-installed Windows twice and have been able to replicate the problem each time (Clean Win 8.1 install, Office 2013 install, RSAT, everything works, install Office 2013 SP1).
It says in the KB to "Contact the app vendor". In this case that would be Microsoft.

1. What is you install W 8.1 ENT + all important updates -> Office 2013 > Office 2013 SP1 > RSAT ?
2. Make sure that .NET 3.51 and 4.51 are installed.
3. Make sure that there is no coincidence with issues

4. Try to sesolve problem with Process Explorer and Process Monitor

CTR programs (Office 2013) and WSUS

I want to take issue with Microsoft on this inability to update Office 2013 using Windows Server Update Services. We purchase computers with Office 2013 pre-installed which features the click to run (CTR) version. While WSUS can download office 2013 updates
they don't get installed to the client machines. Only way for these systems to stay updated is to allow the update function in the office program.
Whoever designed this feature and ok'd it should be fired. What is an organization supposed to do when they have hundreds or even thousands of computers tying up all the network bandwidth downloading office 2013 updates? I can't believe the designers never
considered this to be a problem in the office environment. I expect to see this SEVERE problem corrected in a future patch.
There's big money for Microsoft to be made with their Office software suite. It is I.T. administrators like myself that influence purchasing decisions. If this problem is not changed, I along with many other administrators will be making every effort to
use alternatives in the future.

I want to take issue with Microsoft on this inability to update Office 2013 using Windows Server Update Services. We purchase computers with Office 2013 pre-installed which features the click to run (CTR) version.
And the Click-To-Run version is a cloud-based Software-As-A-Service and is updated by the service provider, not the end user.
Only way for these systems to stay updated is to allow the update function in the office program.
Exactly! That is the inherent design of Software-As-A-Service.
What is an organization supposed to do when they have hundreds or even thousands of computers tying up all the network bandwidth downloading office 2013 updates?
You assume that the computer are actually downloading updates.

Office 2013 small business version is missing UPDATE NOW

Hi
I'm currently running office 2013 version 15.0.4433.1508 and trying to update, however it doesn't seem to auto update even though option is selected to auto update.
The option to update manually is missing i.e. "File-> Office Account-> Update Options->
Update Now"
please advise why my office is not updating or doesn't allow the option to update now?
thanks

How did you configure the Update option when deploy your Office 2013?
Please publish your configuration.XML file. If this is a corporation network env, you might also want to check with your admin and see if they have re-configured your Office installation.

Office 2013: where the heck are the security updates hiding?

I built a deployment for Office 2013 yesterday. The source files were downloaded from Microsoft, with SP1 integrated. This is *not* a "Click to Run" deployment. I used the Office Customization Tool to make a few changes (we're
not using OneDrive, so that piece isn't getting installed. I disabled the "First Run" and Customer Experience stuff, and disabled RSS Feeds and SharePoint integration. And I put in our volume license key. Overall it's a pretty vanilla
build.)
I wanted to include all available security updates since SP1 has been released, and stick them into the "Updates" folder of my deployment. So after I installed Office 2013 x64 on my Windows 7 x64 system (the base package that I built installs
just fine), I went to Windows Update to see what was available. There is nothing there. I rebooted, and tried again. Still nothing. If I go into one of the Office 2013 apps, and go to File -> Account, I do *not* have any "Update"
buttons or options.
If I go to Windows Update in my Control Panel, and click "Change Settings", I have two things checked. "Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates", and "Allow all users to install updates on this
computer." There are no other options to look for alternative Microsoft products, or at least no options that I can find. This is Windows 7 x64 SP1, fully patched.
I know that there have been security updates released for Office 2013 since SP1 came out in February 2014. I manually downloaded a security patch for Lync 2013, and installed that MSP onto this test system with no
issues. So there are applicable security updates out there. So why in the world can't I find the updates through the normal mechanisms? Ideally, we'd want for end users to be able to install security updates manually in an
emergency, but either I'm missing something, or that is not possible in Office 2013. Hopefully distributing Office 2013 updates through SCCM will work, but from what I'm seeing so far, I'm not sure the machines will be "detected" as having
Office 2013, because right now it can't even scan itself against Windows Update for that product.
Thanks for any input...I'm quite baffled at how the update routine is supposed to be functioning in Office 2013. I think the missing link is why I can't choose to search for "other" Microsoft products from the Windows Update panel.
The option/checkbox is totally gone.

Hi,
By default Windows Update only updates Windows itself. To get updates for Office and for any other Microsoft products as well, you will need to upgrade your Windows Update to Microsoft Update.
On Windows Update panel, click "Find out more" link to install Microsoft Update.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Windows Updates keeps BREAKING Office 2013, SkyDrive, ETC

Everytime I do the Updates my system and Office 2013 becomes completely unstable.
As a result I only do upgrades every 2 weeks. On Friday, April 24 I sat down to do my 2 week update and had almost 40 updates that had to be done. (goodbye 4 hours of my life)
After the updates, just like clockwork, office, sharepoint and onedrive stopped working. I am going to try to provide as much detail as possible so as to notify Microsost in hopes this stop and in case anyone else has the issues. I will also provide
the steps I took to fix some of the issues.
Note:
I am running Windows 8.1, 64-bit on HP-ENVY 17" touch laptop
I DO NOT have any virus', malware, etc. I have ran MalwareBytes, Windows Defender and Webroot (as I always do before and after updates)
I have office 2013 and subscribe to office 365 for business - I have a license key for Office 2013 but was told somewhere that it conflicts with the click-to-run we are forced to use with 365 so I only do the office 365 version
I do have Sharepoint Designer on my system as I am the administrator of our sharepoint site
I access our sharepoint documents via Windows Explorer
After the updates I have experienced the following
I tried to open a ppt, xls and doc file and nothing would open giving random errors. I then did the control panel --> office click to run --> change --> reinstall everything. I did this and then some of the documents opened fine (goodbye
another hour of my life)
After trying to open a file from my windows explorer in our sharepoint site I get a continuous and recoccuring popup from Microsoft OneDrive for Business that says "Sorry, we can't perform this action. Incompatible Office Products are installed
on your machine. If you have an administrator, please contact them for help." (The last part just makes me laugh because I AM the administrator)
This annoying popup NEVER stops. It keeps popping up every 60 seconds if I close it. I have kiiled the onedrive process, paused the syncing, killed the office click-to-run task. Shut down all office products. Nothing makes this stop except for a full reboot
Please HELP or tell me what to do so that I can once again open my sharepoint files (and all of my employees can do so as well!)

Hi,
"I tried to open a ppt, xls and doc file and nothing would open giving random errors." Could you please provide some of these errors to me? Then I can do some research based on the errors.
Based on your error message, please make sure you have installed this update:
February 10, 2015 update for Office 2013 (KB2920798)
We can also collect some event logs after the issues occur, press Win + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter.

My Acrobat tab is missing in Office 2013

I have office 2013 (Windows 7) and Acrobat XI (Creative Cloud). I have always had an Acrobat tab and have used it successfully many times to create PDFs. Recently it has gone missing. I no longer have the tab, and I can no longer create PDFs. I can still print to PDF, but this does not create any book marks for headings and such in Word, so the PDF is not very useful to me. I frequently create large documents and really need that feature that the ribbon tab gave me to be able to have all the Word headings converted to bookmarks in the PDF.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling: Acrobat, the PDF Maker, the PDF Maker and Acrobat, and Office all to no avail. This morning I unistalled Office and Acrobat, rebooted, then reinstalled and still nothing. When you open Options in Word, it shows the addin is not checked (disabled) If i try to check it, it does not take. I mainly create PDFs from Word, so this is my primary concern, but I also checked the other Office apps. In Outlook, it shows it also unchecked with a message below that says there was an error loading. Excel and PointPoint interesting enough show the plugin loaded, but there is still no ribbon tab, nor buttons.
Here are some images:
So I am at a loss. I am not sure how to fix this problem, or what caused it in the first place. As it used to work just fine on this computer.
Any assistance is apprecaited. Thank you.

When you post, do not expect an immediate answer. We users do not live on this site and check periodically. However, one of us is often around. I was considering replying about doing the updates when I got to your second post. Actually 11.0.01 is even old. You should be able to do updates from the Help menu in Acrobat or download them from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. The updates generally have to be installed in order (most are not cummulative).
WORD 2013 was released after Acrobat 11.0.0, requiring the updates for Acrobat to properly operate. Even if a beta was available, Adobe does not generally target the beta for updates since they are often totally different from the final release, wasting a lot of programming time on the part of Adobe.

Windows 8.1 system with new Office 2013 install not pulling down any Office 2013 updates from my SCCM 2012 SP1 server

Hi,
I've just setup a new Windows 8.1 system and added to my SCCM 2012 SP1 server and all is good and it pulled down all the correct Windows updates and pulls down automatically the FEP updates that are distributed from SCCM 2012 daily.
I just installed Office 2013 on this system and have activated it as necessary. The problem is that the system doesn't seem to be pulling down any of the Office 2013 updates that have distributed thru SCCM. I have other systems with
Office 2013 installed and they have pulled down Office 2013 updates in the past when I published them.
If I look at the Office 2013 updates in the SCCM console software section, I can see that for example it shows that Office 2013 SP1 (x86) is needed by one system and installed on 8 other systems and shows as downloaded and deployed.
I've restarted the new system multiple times and also tried to force a software update check from the Configuration Manager applet but nothing seems to happen.
What can I check to try and determine what the problem is?
Thanks in advance,
Nick

Yes, the 8.1 system is a member of collection where the update deployment is targeted.
Are there any specific logs I should check in the client? If I check the WindowsUpdate.log I can see messages about the machine pulling down the FEP updates but that's all it appears to be doing.
in CCM\logs, focus on the updatehandler and updatedeployment, to begin with
