Microsoft releases Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.5 Update

Microsoft has released the Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.5 Update. (104 MB) The update requires that the Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Service Pack 1 (12.1.0) or later be installed first. Download them both from Mactoptia or simply select the Check for Updates command from the Help menu in any Office 2008 application.

According to the update's description this update addresses two security bulletins that affect Office 2008 suitewide as well as updated time zone information for Entourage.

This release is a cumulative patch that rolls together the following patches:

  • 12.1.1
  • 12.1.2
  • 12.1.3
  • 12.1.4

A fresh installation of Office 2008 would require installation of:

  • Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.0.0 (from DVD)
  • Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Service Pack 1 (12.1.0)
  • Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.5 Update

autodiscover for entourage is still BROKEN.
it wont connect to server 2007sp1 or exchangelabs.com.

useless...

The only change for Entourage was with time zone information.

To the best of my knowledge, AutoDiscover has not been acknowledged by Microsoft as a problem or broken feature. Have a look at White Paper: Exchange 2007 Autodiscover Service and review your complete setup.

If you find that everything is correct then you may consider hiring a Microsoft consultant to confirm your settings. If everything is correct then you can report this as a bug to Microsoft.

I have already reported it as a bug and last I heard it was in the product group. My 12.1.5 update doesn't discover my office installation at all.

I don’t believe it!

I downloaded this and tried to install it, expecting to get the usual “can’t find the software” error and having to manually edit the script but not it just worked!!!!!

Maybe Microsoft have edited the installation script already?
