Keeping Microsoft Office programs updated?

Post by penyuan »

Hello,

I've managed to install Microsoft Office 2010 with Wine on both GNU/Linux and Mac OS based systems. I'm also attempting Office 2013 on Wine versions 2.0+ but so far I can't even get the installer to start even when I follow the instructions on the relevant AppDB pages...

Anyway, I learned that you can slipstream updates into the installation by putting update MSP files in a certain folder in the installer.

However, Microsoft still regularly release updates for Microsoft Office 2010 and later. But without the Microsoft Update program in my Wine prefix how do I keep my Office fully updated?

Do people manually track down, download, and install each update as they are released? Or is there a way to automate/batch process the update process? Please do share your strategy and how you do it. Thank you!

Thanks for the response.

Do you think or know if there are any concerns if I don't keep up with the regular updates?
