Office for Mac 2008 installs and updates on a clean install of SnowLeopard

[Diane Ross]

I installed Snow Leopard tonight and can verify that Office 2008 will
install and completely update on a clean install of Snow Leopard, but you
need to install Rosetta if your install DVD is one of the earlier copies
with 12.0.0.

 

[rvinny]

yes but could you update to SP1?

 

[Diane Ross]

Yes. It first updated the MAU, then it did the download for 12.1.0, but
after restarting I was still at 12.0.0. I download from Mactopia the 12.1.0
updater and that installed. I restarted and used the updater from Mactopia
for 12.2.0, restarted and did the same for 12.2.1. Next I updated to the EWS
version for Exchange compatibility.

I did have Rosetta installed. This is required to see the first update for
MAU.
