14 DAY TRIAL // Office 2010 users can come across issues when installing updates for the productivity suite. Fortunately, they can turn to a download offered free of charge by Microsoft to help them deal with potential issues.
The Redmond company is offering an update designed to decrease installation failures of future Office 2010 refreshes.
Update for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2553092), 32-Bit Edition and update for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2553092), 64-Bit Edition are both live on the Microsoft Download Center and up for grabs immediately.
Microsoft points users to KB2553092 for additional details on this specific refresh. Unfortunately, the knowledge base article associated with this update is not yet live, so customers won’t be able to access it.
This is bound to be nothing more than a temporary issue, however, and I’m sure that the software giant will have KB2553092 up and running in the next few days at the latest.
To me, KB2553092 for Office 2010 sounds a bit like the System Update Readiness Tool which Microsoft is providing to Windows users.
Various inconsistencies can impact negatively the deployment of updates on Windows as well as on Office, and this is why the Redmond company is providing refreshes designed to fix any problems.
The difference is that while the System Update Readiness Tool plays nice with all supported releases of Windows, including Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), KB2553092 is tailored to the 32-bit and 64-bit flavors of Office 2010 and nothing else.
Customers experiencing issues with deploying updates for Office 2010 might as well go ahead and download KB2553092 and launch it on their machine without waiting for the knowledge base article.
