Slipstream updates into your Office 2007 installation

I recently had to update a standard Office 2007 installation with SP2. This is easily done with a few commandlines assuming that you have both downloaded the SP2 update and have the Office 2007 installation files already avaliable.

Locate the Updates folder among your Office 2007 installation files. This is the folder where we want the SP2 files to end up. In my example the path to the updates folder is :

E:\Office2007\Updates

I placed the SP2 update in a temporary folder:

E:\Temp\Office2007-SP2-Update\office2007sp2-kb953195-fullfile-da-dk.exe

To extract the SP2 update and thereby slipsteam the SP2 update into the Office 2007 installation simply type the following:

E:\Temp\Office2007-SP2-Update\office2007sp2-kb953195-fullfile-da-dk.exe /extract:”E:\Office2007\Updates”

Accept the licence agreement and follow the steps until you get a confirmation that the installation is complete.

Now you are ready to install Office 2007 SP2.

If you want to slipsteam other Windows updates into your Office 2007 installation files simply repeat the steps above only by replacing the update you want to slipsteam.
