Office X Mac Update 10.1.6

[Nikki]

I just installed the new Office X 10.1.6 update for Office which has
Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage. In doing so, the Excel
application disappeared from my computer. Poof! Gone! Only components
of Excel remain, but not the Excel application. At the same time, the
Excel icon in my OS 10.3.2 navigational bar turned into a question
mark. The Read Me file with the update does not state it will
eliminate Excel. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Footnote: All other applications (Word, PowerPoint and Entourage) came
through without a glitch.

Bizarre - I updated yesterday with no problems...

What "components" of XL remain?

I'd do a complete uninstall (using Remove Office from the Value Pack
folder of your install disk), then another update...

In the Microsoft Office X folder (applications) the Excel application
icon is gone along with the application itself. I can no longer open
any of my Excel documents because they cannot find the application
that created such files. Some components listed in the Office folder
within the main Office X folder are still there, such as Excel read me
and library files. I have MS Office X installed on both my new
computers - G4 Desktop and G4 iBook. I haven't yet updated the iBook
Office X because I fear the same thing will happen with the 10.1.6
update eliminating Excel.

I hate to be contrary, but I DL'd and installed the update
with absolutely no problems. PB Ti 1GHz 1GB 10.3.5

Sounds like something went very wrong with updating XL and the old
version got thrown away without the new one being saved.

Only suggestion I have is to run Remove Office, reinstall Office, then
rerun the updater. The one nice thing is that it's a single updater,
rather than having to go through three or more others...
