Update Office 2013 & IE

Hi there, I have WSUS setup to approve Windows Updates for my 2012 servers. Can I use WSUS to approve and install Updates for Office 2013 & IE 10 as well? If so, how? If not, what is other way to install updates for Office 2013 & IE 10?
I open Word -> File -> Account, but I can't find manual update there, so I'm sure how to update it manually.
Thanks.

Hi,
check this
Do you have a click-to-run version of Office? 
Management tools like Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and products controlling WSUS like System Center Configuration Manager 2012 are not distributing software updates
to Click-to-Run software.

  • 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

  • Mail x64 Control Panel Broken, Can't Install Office 2013 SP1 to Fix It - HELP NEEDED

    I have the dreaded broken Mail x64 Control Panel that doesn't work after installing Office 2013 Home and Business on a Windows 8.1 Pro computer.  This was a fresh installation, yet Microsoft still has an ancient disk image on their Office.com website
    for download.  The version is 15.0.4433.1507.  It's from 2012!  I don't understand the purpose of having people download something if you are not even going to keep it up to date, and have them download programs which you know are broken. 
    Strike 1.
    Another thread said to update Office 2013.  Easier said than done.  Windows Update won't do it, even if Windows Update is manually told to search for updates.  Strike 2.
    Another thread said to disable updates inside an office program (File, Account, Update Options).  Then Enable it, and updating should start immediately.  Nope.  Strike 3.
    Same thread said if the above didn't work, to go to Uninstall Programs, and run a Repair of Office 2013.  Did that, and then it wanted the Product Key again.  Gave it the product key, it put a green check mark next to it signifying it was good,
    and then when I clicked next, it said it couldn't activate it.  I clicked the Repair button, and the program closed.  Strike 4.
    I uninstalled, and reinstalled Office 2013.  I downloaded the Office 2013 Service Pack 1 x64, and ran it.  It gives the error message "There are no products affected by this package installed on the system".  How could that be? 
    Article ID 2850036 says specifically that it applies to "Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013".  Since when can't you install Service Packs? Strike 5.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    The issue may occur if the registry entries are corrupted or missing. Usually, repair the Office suite from control panel can fix the issue.
    For your case, I would suggest you to run Microsoft Fix It tool (or follow the
    manual steps listed in follow article
    ) to uninstall Office 2013 completely from your computer, then do a re-installation and verify the result:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-us
    If you are able to login to
    www.office.com/myaccount, then you can get the latest Office installation file there.
    More reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2808266/en-us
    Sorry for the inconvenience. Please have a try and feel free to post back.

  • 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.

  • Patch management for Office 2013 on MDT

    Hello,
    on current MDT 2012, Office 2013 is added as an app. MSP was created for customization and placed in Update folder (did it a while ago)
    I am preparing new MDT 2013. Deployed OS will be patched with latest updates. So Windows update will not take initially any time for applying patches after deployment from WSUS.
    I would like to know best practices for Updating Office 2013 on Deployment Share.
    Please provide a link or instructions: where to get latest O2013 Update Packages (at least security and critical) and how to place them properly in Update folder. Can it coexist with Customization.msp?
    1. What is the right thing to manage this? No SCCM in place.
    2. Does somebody includes Office 2013 in the image and then use GPO for customization?
    Is it a valid scenario? I see at least 2 advantages: no additional time after deployment and full patches for the moment of image creation. Than it could be updated in the moment of image update.
    Does it make sense? What are disadvantages of this approach?
    thanks.

    Thanks to all!
    Ty, I added a lot to my knowledgebase during bombing :) you with the questions since last week :) ... Thanks for the answers...
    I purchased Johan's Fundamentals V4 (found it more applicable to my current needs).
    A bit in pressure this week need to push 2 models deployment quickly and correctly as possible.
    So don't have time to Deep Dive.
    What I achieved Driver Group approach works find for tons of drivers. Tried just on model now...
    Have to solve sudden issue with WinPE that was working fine and suddenly stopped working.
    For O2013...
    Just to make things fast I installed O2013 in reference image.
    If I understand correctly I cannot use MSP file after the installation is made. I suppose to create it and add to Updates folder of the O2013 source.
    So now my option is to work with GPO. I have a configured one for O2013 APPV deployment.
    It works great.
    Don't remember if I can manage by GPO applications appearance in the Office. (Example want to exclude Publisher and Access from being used on client PC).
    Can somebody point where is the option in GPO for selecting individual apps within the Office.
    In my MDT2012 I use O2013 deployment as App and use MSP.
    For Appv Office I use apps selection from APPV manager. So not sure if it is doable from Office GPO.
    Thanks.

  • 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,

  • 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 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.

  • Office 2013 update KB 2726958 Problem

    Our pcs applied the latest round of Windows Updates yesterday and the Office Update KB2726958 caused the macros in Excel 2013 spreadsheets to stop working. Uninstalling just this update returned full functionality to Excel.
    These are all Windows 7 64 bit machines connected to an AD domain with 32-bit Office 2013 Professional or Pro Plus.
    Any machine that had applied the latest updates released on Tuesday suffered from this problem. Opening a .xlsm spreadsheet looked fine but users were unable to click on Macro buttons to e.g. load a userform.
    I have spent 28 minutes on the phone trying to speak to somebody, anybody, in Support but no-one was interested so I am trying this forum instead.

    Performing the steps in the link (http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2014/12/13/forms-controls-stop-working-after-december-2014-updates-.aspx) does
    restore the ability to run button driven macros as well as add controls and buttons.
    However, a task as simple as:
    Creating a new workbook.
    Saving as macro enabled workbook.
    Adding ActiveX form toggle button.
    Adding: msgbox "Toggle this!" to the change even of the newly added toggle button.
    Saving the workbook.
    Everything works great on this machine.
     When the workbook is opened on another machine (I've tried several that can open and use other macro enabled workbooks with buttons and such.), the button appears, but the button and macro are not functional.  Deleting the sheet
    in the workbook causes Excel to crash. 
    Once I uninstalled KB2726958 on the machine where the workbook is created, I am able to perform the above with no issues.  Of course, this is a temporary work around that will be clobbered by policy driven Windows /Office Updates the next time I restart. 
    HALP!

  • Office 2013 Home and Business not updating

    I have two PCs on my network that I bought from Dell. Both came with a license for Office 2013 Home and Business. Office trial version was already on the machines and i just registered and activated the trial version using the licenses I was given from Dell.
    Everything was fine until I was troubleshooting a duplicate email issue in Outlook on of the machines. At this time I noticed Office didn't appear to be on the latest version of click-to-run. I am relatively unfamiliar with click-to-run Office 2013 and the
    changes to how it updates. Apparently it does this automatically. Problem is these two machines don't appear to be updating at all. I can't find an update history just a version number. I found online and performed the following troubleshooting steps:
    1.) Disable then re-Enable Updates by going into File -> Account -> Update Options
    - this seamed to start the downloading of updates but they never installed. That window telling me they were
    downloading just goes away and nothing happens.
    2.) If "1" doesn't work try an Online Repair.
    - the repair begins and ends before completing saying "Something happened". This effectively breaks the install and
    a following dialog box explains that Office was uninstalled.
    3.) Re-install Office
    - but have to run a cleanup tool first to remove remnants of previous install. I then find it difficult to find an
    installer that will work at all kept getting "Something happened" message. Finally Dell support found an installer that
    works. however even after the install Office will not update.

    Per your post, it seems that you activate the Office 2013 Home and Business trial version by Dell provided. I can confirm the update service is available for Office 365 subscription users, but I am not sure whether it is working for the trail version.
    You'd better confirm it with you Dell provider or post a new thread in
    Office 365 forum, thanks.

  • WSUS updates not applying to Office 2013 Home and Business OEM version

    Hi
    For some reason I cannot get WSUS updates to automatically install on clients running Office 2013 Home and Business OEM version.
    For example
    If user opens any of the office 2013 apps e.g. Outlook , word etc, it prompts a message at the top under the ribbon toolbar; UPDATE NOW.
    All other updates for OS are downloading and installing just fine from our WSUS server.
    What could this be?
    I dont have this issue with clients running office 2003

    First thing you need to do is be absolutely certain which edition of Office you have installed.
    There are five editions of "Office 365" and these days, almost anything that is "OEM" is almost certainly Office 365:
    Office 365 Home
    Office 365 Personal
    Office 365 Small Business
    Office 365 Small Business Premium
    Office 365 Midsize Business
    Office 365 ships with an activation code for an online management account, and authorizes the installation of the software on up to five devices. Office 365 is updated via the WEB .. ONLY.
    In addition there are three editions of Office 2013:
    Office Home & Student
    Office Home & Business
    Office Professional
    If you have one of these three editions, you should also have a DVD and a Product Activation Code for the SINGLE-PC installation which is licensed for these editions provided by the vendor of your computers. Office 2013 can be updated using WSUS.
    Since you're getting a prompt IN THE APPLICATION to "Update Now", I believe you're looking at instances of Office 365, not Office 2013. Office 2013 (desktop) does not provide in-product prompts for updates/upgrades.

  • Office 2013 updates fail on computers with Access 2013 installed

    I have about 10 workstations with the combination of Windows 7 enterprise 32 bit, Access 2013 and Office 2007 installed.
    SCCM offers up both Office 2007 and Office 2013 updates to these machines, but the Office 2013 updates, fail to install.
    The same thing happens when I go to Microsoft updates and manually install the required Office 2013 updates.
    I read that one of the updates required Office 2013 sp1.
    But when I downloaded it, it won't install:  KB2817430 "The expected version of this product was not found on the system."
    This is the second month I've had the failures. I removed KB2878316 and KB2889927 from my deployments and packages to stop repeated install attempts.
    But this month I've got a new on failing, KB2899493.
    Is there a way around this problem?

    Thanks, I couldn't really find anything but it looks as though this could be just the way it is.
    from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2784668
    When you start a version of Access on a computer that has multiple versions of Access installed, the Windows Installer may start, and
    a message that states that the Windows Installer is preparing to install Access may be displayed before Access starts.
    Every time that you start Access 2003, Access 2007, or Access 2010 after you use Access 2013, the Windows Installer repair operation registers
    that version of Access. Similarly, the Windows Installer repair operation registers Access 2010 every time that you start it after you use an earlier version of Access. This does not occur when you start Access 2002, nor does it occur when you start the same
    version of Access again. 
    Is this likely to also apply even when running App-V?

  • Office 2013, after windows/office updates recently, pdf add-in no longer works

    We have a user who has Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, Office 2013 (32-bit) and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  They used to be able to "save as pdf" from word, but can no longer do it and gets the error "word is running into problems with the 'acrobat pdfmaker office com addin'add-in.  If this keeps happening, disable this add-in and check for available updates.  Do you want to disable it now?"
    They disable the add-in and are still able to 'save as' and then choose PDF in the pull down menu in word/powerpoint, but has anyone else had this issue?  I'm not sure if this is a question for the adobe folks or the microsoft folks, but it is annoying.  We've already run the Office repair and the Adobe repair but this had no affect.

    Hey rachell71266154,
    Could you please let me know what exact dot version of Acrobat XI are you using.
    You might choose 'Check for Updates' option under the Help menu to use the latest patch of Acrobat.
    Please refer the KB doc link mentioned below and try out solutions to enable PDFMaker add-in in Word:
    PDFMaker unavailable | Office 2007, 2010, 2013 | Acrobat 9, Acrobat X, Acrobat XI, Acrobat DC
    Let me know if this helps.

  • 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....

  • How to force Office 2013 CTR update regularly

    We are using around 60 PKC licenses of Office 2013 which came in CTR format (we don't have any Office 365 subscription, these licenses came with the new computers). CTR can't be managed via WSUS and it usually updates itself once or two per month (ideally).
    But we have noticed that many clients are not updating regularly. Actually some are stuck on January builds. When you go to such PC it shows that Update is ready. Why it doesn't update automatically? Is the PC has to be idle for some time? Then it is a bad
    design as our employees usually do not slack around half a day and work with Office all the time. How can i force CTR versions to update? Other than going to every machine and pressing Update now or asking users to do so.
    Digging about this i have stumbled upon a blog post about Office Deployment Tool which came out recently (version 1, 2014.05.06). http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2013/06/19/using-the-office-deployment-tool.aspx Can it provide a way to force
    updates or is it just a way to keep updates on a local share to save the bandwidth? Will the scheduled task behave the same in this scenario and wait for months to update?
    Also, it looks like ODT download page is broken, nothing happens http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36778&751be11f-ede8-5a0c-058c-2ee190a24fa6=True

    Hi,
    The Click-to-Run for Office 365 Configuration.xml file is used to specify Click-to-Run installation and update options.
    You can specifies attributes for configuring updates in the xml file, If
    Enabled is set to TRUE, the Click-to-Run update system will check for updates automatically.
    If UpdatePath is set to empty (""), updates are obtained from the Microsoft Click-to-Run source, CDN. Not from a local server:
    <Updates
    Enabled=TRUE | FALSE
    UpdatePath=UNC | local | http path
    TargetVersion=X.Y.Z.W
    Deadline=MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM
    />
    More reference about the configuration.xml file and ODT tool:

    Download link for ODT:

    Thanks,
