I am trying to deploy Office 2013 ProPlus x86 .msi installer using MDT. My goal is to use the Updates folder in the install files to slipstream all the updates for Office into the initial installation. I am following this TechNet article titled:
Distribute updates for Office 2013 products
I first run Windows Updates on a host computer that has Office 2013 ProPlus installed. I then use the VBS script from the article to Collect all the Updates. I then put those collected .MSP files into the Updates folder in the installation media. I then install Office on the target computer. This is when my issue arises.
After Office is installed I open Control Panel and look at the Installed Updates and it lists over 100 updates for Office 2013 ProPlus. So it seems like it worked, however when I run Windows Updates it says that I need 60+ Updates for Office 2013 ProPlus Over (2,000 MB of updates!) and proceeds to download an install them.
So all of the Collected Updates get installed along side the Office installation as planned. but it doesn't seem that they actually get applied to the product.
What is going on??
