Hi,
i have a question, does office 2010 updates comptable with office 2010 x64 version.
what i mean, if i place all the updates in the folder, will it install?

as far i as know your extract from the updates the .msp files and just places those in the updates folder and office will automatically update when installing with those files

thanx for reply, i knew that.
but, my question was, are the office 2010 updates comptable with office 2010 x64?

Its typically not recommended to install Office 2010 x64 unless it is for development testing.

you need the special x64 Office 2010 updates. The 32Bit updates don't work.

thanx for clearing it up....magic
so, why did microsoft offer it anyway? marketing?

[MagicAndre1981]

I don't understand your question. For x64 Vista/7 you need different updates compared to the 32Bit version. For Office 2010 this is the same. Large Excel and Access files can benefit from x64. For normal users you can stay at the 32Bit Office until all 3rd party software vendors update their addons to support the 64Bit version.
