This (and all previous MS Office) installers are all too STUPID to find the apps to be updated, if you've changed the name or moved them.

I want my app to be called "Word 12.1.5" not "Microsoft Word" so i change the names. Now, as before, this installer is too damned stupid to find the app.

"You cannot install Office 2008 12.1.5 Update on this volume. A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume."

And if I try to change the names back again, I'm rudely reminded that the (in this case) overly-protective features of OSX prevent me unless I log in as root. Grrr

And changing the names is still not good enough if I've moved them away from the root level of the Applications folder. Insane!

And, after all this circus, the installer froze. Can you imagine the heart attack it would've had if I had moved the app to another _partition_, as I used to do? Wow.

Then there's the fact that, in order to get this far with MS Office, you've had to download and install an app and six updaters totalling over 1.1 TB of software. Are they mad?

Oh and, even after reverting the name of the apps to their original names and putting the folder back in its original location, the INSTALLER STILL CANNOT FIND THEM! I must start from scratch with version 12.0.0

And people wonder why legions hate MS.
