    BypassESU-v11 breaks up Office 2010 installation after 2021.01 updates. I don't know why. Only v9 works correctly, It me, or something wrong in newest bypass version?

    Did you check this info at the OP?
    Uninstall the .net 4 bypass and retry the office install.

    After doing the January updates I got a weird issue now where any .msi fails to install. According to event log ID 10005: The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2889.

    Couldn't really find a solution online, tried fixing up msiexec, re-registering it. Last time I installed via msi was late Nov last year.

    Uninstalled patcher, reboot, same error. Installed v9 again, same. This started days after the January updates were installed via WU. Any ideas?

    There are no ideas, if you answer the following questions, ideas may appear:
    "Uninstalled patcher" - what was deleted?,
    "Installed v9 again" - this is how?,
    ".NET 4 ESU Bypass" - removed?,
    "This started days after the January updates were installed via WU" - the same programs (which were installed without problems on the day of the release of the January updates) are now not available to install?
    what programs can not be installed?

    I ran BypassESU-v11 and received KB4598279, KB4579977 and KB4598500. This is great. I then removed the .net bypass per the instructions in the OP.

    I wasn't offered any updates for Office 2016 so I put the script referenced above into MSU.cmd and ran it, restarted and still no Office updates.

    Prior to running the script, WU was already set to receive updates for other Microsoft products.

    I have checked for updates with and without the .net bypass and get the same results.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    No, the script only enables microsoft updates and i got the updates offered on WU after i ran the cmd.

    Maybe try to click "update options" in the office account and see what options you get.

    Windows Update is for Office MSI only

    Thanks for the reply.

    You're probably right about that. Even though it says I am only receiving Security Updates (due to Win7), I am on the latest build and that build does include some product updates as well.

    I had removed the ESU patcher via the prompt and installed it again via that as well. I did not mess with the .net bypass at all.
    Any msi I try fails with the same error code 2889 according to event log.

    It may be a clue that the last updates I did in Nov failed, or rather after reboot it tried configuring and then rolled back and tried again. Update log shows success though. Something with the system is now screwed up. I cannot install msi, network drivers are acting up, cannot install new ones "failed to copy" them apparently. It seems either the update faulted or something internal has gone belly up. I don't have an installation disk anymore so I don't know how I would do a system check now.

    ESU suppressor - does not break the OC.
    ESU suppressor - does not repair the OC.
    The ESU suppressor cannot be removed after installing ESU updates. Accordingly, the "Installed v9 again, same"... how did you do that?.. no one knows.
    "I had removed the ESU patcher" - what the WU ESU Patcher is for - is written in detail in the first post of this topic (ESU suppressor - will work no matter how you install updates).

    ...In short, you have a broken OC (how did it happen? except for you, no one knows) - you need to repair (or reinstall).

    Define doesn't work:

    - on what version did it fail?
    - ESU Bypass v11 is installed? If yes, what did you select when you installed it?
    - did you try to install it by WU?
    - did you try to install it manually by running the .MSU?
    - did previous rollups install?
    - did you already install the separate updates? If yes, which ones?
    - did you check the "Troubleshoot Q&A?
    - what is the error message and code?
    - did you install the latest SSU?
    - etcetc...
