how to integrate service packs for ms office 2007
jraju:
Hi,
If you install ms office and then download the service packs exes and then click, it works ok. But i want the service packs to be integrated. I came across this thread, which says, that mere extracting the exe with 7 zip and then paste them all in the updates folder in the installation dvd or copied folder of the same in the pc. I tried and then did write the files to disc thro imageburn. But it does not add the updates and showed the original version in the resource tap, in the word options.
But in files waiting to be written to cd dialogue box appears and updates folder in the created folder. I deleted those, as it should have been written when imgburn wrote it. What went wrong with my extraction.
The link which i have followed is given here for reference.

I have also perused the update folder, where there was a readme.txt saying that any patch added here will be taken automatically when install the office for the first time.
I have uninstalled the office in my pc, before attempting the integration.
I also came across the extract command differently in other forums which did not work correctly. it gives command line syntax, which is after found to be nowhere to be seen to copy. I learnt that msp files have to be extracted from the exes and placed in the updates folder to take effect. i tried those command, but command seems to work but the result could not be seen in the folder i marked. I have given that link also for ref.
This is the model command i used with my system drive specification:
"C:\Office2007\SP3\office2007sp3-kb2526086-fullfile-en-us.exe" /extract:"C:\Office2007\SP3\extract"

I have applied this command on my elevated cmd.
Please advise.
when i installed the exe, then it shows the sp3 version

I dont slipstream them, I just have the setup on my hard drive and you can put the msp updates into a folder called "Updates" where the setup.exe is and the setup will auto install updates from there.
This one shows how to do it, it is for 2010 but it is the same for 2007 :-)

Hi, Shane
the link gives elaborate expansion of ideas to meet all situation. Would you kindly tell me in nutshell.
I have got the setup files and also the update from the link. How to extract the msp files to the visible folder on your system and then copy to the update folder. Thats the part, i want to know. Please tell me how to do that. Should i have to install msi update also?
The procedure i adopted in the second link to my post, has not produced the desired results. How to extract the msp files to a folder to be copied later to updates folder.
Should i have to create a folder on the same path where i copy the setup file? what is the exact command. Is it correct, if i go to the elevated cmd prompt and type the cmd as follow> should i create the folders as in the path in my second link syntax c: etc.
I would be expecting your jet reply, shane, as always,
