    Hello, what are the recommended updates for office 2010? Also, I want to install them using WHDownloader. Thanks'

    EDIT: I have Office 2010 with SP2 installed in Windows Update and I'm using Windows 7 Pro x64.

    Windows 7 x86 small issues:

    <name>Win7-KB3191566-x86.msu</name> extension should be .zip (it contains .msu and .ps1 )

    the following three should remove sha1sum as other files:)
    <name>windows6.1-kb3172605-x86_ae03ccbd299e434ea2239f1ad86f164e5f4deeda.msu</name>
    <name>ndp48-kb4503575-x86_78fea8088b0dbdd3384d248eda91b538b8ca3345.exe</name>

    It's correct :)

    the <name> here is for the file that WHDownloader will extract from zip file

    sha1sum is added for updates that have been re-released, to allow WHDownloader to download new release
    changing the name back will cause WHDownloader to re-download them, which is unnecessary

    Office 2010
    I've a question please.
    I've used WHDownloader to download all the post SP2 updates for Office 2010, Thank you! ...and installed them, everything is fine.

    I got to wondering afterwards though - is there a way to incorporate All of the these updates into one overall install into an even more integrated install than this current Updates folder method?

    In other words integrate/install all updates so it's now an all-in-one single install footprint, and does Not need to go though that Updates folder within which can have SP2 and then the few dozen other post SP2 updates - which all those individual updates (including SP2) installers process, then adds on so much size and redundancy just to replace files.

    For instance installing the Office base installer takes up 1.5 GB, but as soon as you install SP2 (which is just replacing files and updating registries) ..but SP2 is yet another nearly 1 GB's of footprint just to keep copies of the old, and then when you add in all the post updates it all adds even more - and all together it creates over 3 GB of an install footprint - when if all the files were truly installed/integrated within itself Beforehand without having to do it as a separate update process via that Updates folder, it would be a much simpler and more efficient install.

    My point is not about saving space here! ...it's about installer simplicity and efficiency.

    They do that with new Windows OS versions slip streaming installs all the time right. Why cant it be done with this old Office 2010 SP2 as well? Why the secondary Update folder that installs 'afterwards' onto the base, that adds so much retained bloat?

    Thank you

    You want SP2 and post-SP2 updates to be pre-integrated, same as Office 2013 SP1 installation media

    it's technically possible to rebuild/repack the msi and cab files with updated files (similar to .NET Framework 4.x Repack)

    but for Office, the external setup UI is still crucial and needed
    it will not accept the new msi files (different hashes and sizes)
    setup.dll/setup.exe must be patched to ignore files verification, and setup.xml files must be updated with new sizes

    You can manually save disk size by removing backup Office files (which got replaced by SP2/updates)
    delete folders ending with 01FEC under this path (hidden)
    Code:
    C:\Windows\Installer\$PatchCache$\Managed
    you may also delete the SP2/updates msp files under C:\Windows\Installer

    this would only prevent repair or uninstall functionality for Office 2010

    I just found KB5023773X64 (and a few others) in my installed updates. It was removed according to the changelog list. Can I remove it from my installed updates. It would it make it easier to compare listed updates once the list gets longer. I'm guessing it was included in a later update or should I leave it alone?
    Using W10_IoT_21H2 (19041)

    Thanks for the help

    Windows 10 updates are cumulative, you only need the latest update per type

    you can remove KB5023773 if you installed KB5025221 or KB5025297

    Thanks,
    It looks like as slow as I am, those to have been removed but I just installed KB5006361 so I can uninstall it.

    KB5007401x64.cab
    I've followed online instructions using Admin Cmd. prompt and DISM with quotes, without quotes, unpacking the .cab file with File Explorer and running the x64 .exe files by themselves. I get a screen blink but no showing under Installed Updates.
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    How did you used DISM and how it did not work?
