I have a VM with windows 7 x64 and o2k13 x64. I applied WOU (Build Date = 07/Jun/2014) and then went to Windows Updates to see what I was missing.

To my surprise I was missing KB2850036 (Office 2013 SP1). Windows said that KB2850036 was about 1.2GB. I checked my WOU files and O2k13 SP1 does exist as proplussp2013-kb2817430-fullfile-x64-en-us.exe. I believe that Windows was asking for KB2850036 instead of normal kb2817430 because I have almost all of the office products installed. Office Pro Plus, Visio, Project and SharePoint Designer.

So I proceeded to download KB2850036 from the Windows Update Catalogue (http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx). The download was 4.2GB for x64 and 3.6 for x86. the problem is that by using the Windows Update Catalogue there is no download link so I cant get WOU to download it. However what I can do is "Slipstream" KB2850036 into the o2k13 x64 source files.

Has anyone else had this problem? More importantly does anyone know a work around.

as a side note I noticed that if you install a version of office and then install a different version of Visio, SharepointDesigner or Project, WOU does not install updates for them because it is assuming that all Office programs are from the same version. I have a workaround for this. it involves altering the code in DetermineSystemProperties.vbs

.\client\cmd\DetermineSystemProperties.vbs wrote:Private Const strOfficeNames = "o2k7,o2k10,o2k13"
Private Const strOfficeAppNames = "Word,Excel,Outlook,Powerpoint,Access,FrontPage,Visio,SharePointDesigner,Project"
Private Const strOfficeExeNames = "WINWORD.EXE,EXCEL.EXE,OUTLOOK.EXE,POWERPNT.EXE,MSACCESS.EXE,FRONTPG.EXE,VISIO.EXE,SPDESIGN.EXE,WINPROJ.EXE"

as always I look forward to your comments

Could it be possible if this fix appears in future WOU releases

WOU is designed to support standard Office installations, not the extended ones with Project/Visio. KB2850036 seem to be a large update pack which includes the standard Office Servicepack and several others. If you still have the update logs, did WOU install SP1 or did it fail ?

I don't have the original log but I believe that it installed the standard SP for office 2013 but because it detected the other programs it offered the other SPs as well.
