Word 2016 for Mac v15.22.1 delta update for Endnote X7 compatibility

[mthakur]

Colleagues,

In case you're unaware, Microsoft released Word 2016 for Mac v15.22.1 as a delta update on May 14, 2016. This is to fix compatibility issues with Endnote X7.

Note that KB3155777 has not been updated — its direct download link still points to v15.22.0

I have not been able to find a direct download for v15.22.1. However, the delta update for v15.22.1 can be downloaded via Microsoft AutoUpdate:

If you want to capture the delta update, e.g. to package it or deploy it in managed environments, you will have to locate the temporary folder in /var/tmp, which can be done via opensnoop:

$ ps -efxww | grep -i 'Microsoft Autoupdate' 502 77506 1 0 8:30AM ?? 0:00.15 /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft AU Daemon.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft AU Daemon 502 84357 1 0 8:46AM ?? 0:31.56 /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft AutoUpdate -psn_0_3998672 502 15373 80482 0 1:58PM ttys000 0:00.00 grep -i Microsoft Autoupdate $ sudo opensnoop -p 84357 UID PID COMM FD PATH [...] 502 84357 Microsoft AutoU 24 /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/SAUDownloadWindow.nib/keyedobjects.nib 502 84357 Microsoft AutoU 24 /var/folders/_3/sv7svqn10j71t97lncbm676w0000gp/T/CFNetworkDownload_bEOYhV.tmp 502 84357 Microsoft AutoU 24 /var/folders/_3/sv7svqn10j71t97lncbm676w0000gp/T/CFNetworkDownload_bEOYhV.tmp 502 84357 Microsoft AutoU 24 /var/folders/_3/sv7svqn10j71t97lncbm676w0000gp/T/MSau_84357/Microsoft_Word_15.22.1_160512_Delta_Updater.pkg [...] ^C $

This is a hassle, to say the least.

If anyone knows of a better way to get the delta update pkg, please chime in. Thank you!

curl -sL http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/C1297A47-86C4-4C1F-97FA-950631F94777/OfficeMac/Microsoft_Word_15.22.1_160512_Delta_Updater.pkg > /tmp/Microsoft_Word_15.22.1_160512_Delta_Updater.pkg

Then access it from /tmp/ and install, or throw into a policy

You could just download it [here] (http://macadmins.software). It is an MS site.

Thanks, also!
Of course, our network proxy folks have seen fit to block access to that site. Yes, I can get around it ... sometimes you just have to do things the long way round! :)
