Auto Update Microsoft Office 2011 Mac
AutoUpdate 3.0.5 was installed with the last Office update a few days ago. Microsoft has backed off from the mess it made with a new version of AutoUpdate you can download now. The problem only happens if you're using both the Office 2016 preview Microsoft has posted as well as Office 2011.
Once you installed the previous version of AutoUpdate, you'd find that it would locate but would be unable to install an update to Office 2011. What's worse, the AutoUpdate program would grab lots of memory and generally make a mess of things. People were running into this problem:
To get past it, the easiest thing to do is to to run AutoUpdate again. It'll find the updated version of itself and install it. To do so, just select the 'Check for Updates' option in the Help menu of any open Microsoft application.
If that doesn't work, or if you don't trust AutoUpdate to do the right thing, you can download the latest updater from Microsoft's web site and install it yourself. That'll download to your Downloads folder as a .pkg file.
Oct 05, 2015 Double-click the file that you downloaded in step 5 to place the Microsoft Office 2011 14.5.6 Update volume on your desktop, and then double-click the Microsoft Office 2011 14.5.6 Update volume to open it. This step might have been performed for you. To remove the update installer, first drag the Microsoft Office 2011 14.5.6 Update volume to the Trash, and then drag the file that you downloaded to the Trash. Note This update is also available from Microsoft AutoUpdate, an application that can automatically keep your Microsoft software up to date. Apr 16, 2015 Microsoft AutoUpdate for Mac is provided together with Office. It automatically keeps Microsoft software up-to-date. To use AutoUpdate, start a Microsoft Office program, and then click Check for Updates on the Help menu.
