I mindlessly updated my OSX Microsoft Office 2008 installation today with SP1 figuring that it would “improve” the Suite. Little did I know I would end up cursing the abhorrent company and it’s programming skillz for bunging my system. You see, for some people, installing SP1 for Office 2008 in OSX Leopard will be stuck with “the recurring appearance of the Office Setup Assistant when launching any of the applications in the Office suite. Even if you go through the wizard step-by-step and click Finish at the end, the application [won’t] start.”
This was happening to me, and after a few minutes of searching the Intertubes, I found that it is happening to others as well. After trying a couple of suggestions unsuccessfully, I ended up finding this page that solved my problems.
Microsoft. Making things easier. lol…
Get. It. Right… Please.
