Damn! I can't remember what causes this...

You say you are at 11.2? OK, download the 11.3.5 Service Pack from the
Microsoft site and run it. That will bring you up to 11.3.5.

I would then go on and apply 11.3.6, 7, 8, and 9 while you are there ? they
have to be done in sequence.

Then you will be fully up-to-date, and I believe you will fix your
AutoUpdate problem along the way.

Hope this helps

I have Word 2004 for the Mac version 11.2 installed on a Mac mini
running MacOS X 10.4.10. Autoupdate fails. It tries to update itself
first, but hangs as soon as installer vice starts. I have tried
various other word updates, but either the installer hangs, or
complains that it could not find the correct version of the software.
This is nonsense, of course, because I have a working 11.2 install
(student version). I am thinking this may be an issue due to Intel
Core Duo. Anyone have an idea?
