    The issue occur because those msi file contain files with Unicode names, which are impossible to handle
    the fix would be by either using SHORTFILENAMES=1 property, or modify those msi files and change Unicode files to ASCII (English) names

    can you also share Office.el-gr folder too? thanks

    @fch1993
    Thanks for testing
    can you open new OfficeLR.cab and verify it has > 200 files?

    i think the SHORTFILENAMES fix might be also needed for Office 2007 for some langs
    and WiMakCabs.vbs will be updated for all

    Yes, all old updates are superseded
    but per Windows Update metadata, Updates do not replace Security Updates

    Using SHORTFILENAMES workaround had more troubles than expected
