2004 updaters can't find Office

[grforbes]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Intel

Was there ever any resolution to the earlier thread about this problem? Our employer advises us to update 2004 to 11.5.4, which I've been trying to do on my wife's MacBook. Her Component Plug-in has a version number of 10.1.6. Both 11.3.5 and 11.5.0 are supposed to be combo updaters but running either produces an error message to the effect that the updater can't find a version of Office 2004 to update. On Microsoft's website I haven't been able to find anything earlier than 11.3.5, say 11.3.0 or 10.something, that might turn her installation into something that later updaters *can* recognize.

You can't update Office X to Office 2004 using the download updaters. You
must first purchase Office 2004 then you can update.

FWIW, Office X is end of life and the last updater for it was Microsoft
Office v. X for Mac 10.1.9 Update release date 1/5/2007.
