Just had a fresh install of office 2010. It was all fine after installing SP2, but it failed to open after I applied some update patches from WSU. It tells "press ctrl+c to terminate the program" and "the current OS configuration is unable to open the program".(My default language is not English, so it simply translates like above) I merely remember that I saw some update issues of office2010 here but I can't find that thread. Anyone could help? Much appreciated. Edit: Dig out. KB4464566 kills office 2010 on Xp. all fine without it. Edit1: Some bad update info collected from the internet:
