Office 2008 update sp 1 kills Office for some
by Dave on May 14, 2008
After updating my office 2008 to the new Service Pack 1, I fell victim to the relatively common ‘setup assistant’ loop of death, wherein, after installing the SP1, office 2008 becomes completely unusable. -Not to fear though! Thanks to the help of some other victims from AppleInsider’s forum, I was able to restore my Office installation to working order. Here’s what you need to do:

delete ˜/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office 2008 Settings.plist
delete /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist
Just another wonderful update from Microsoft. I am crossing my fingers for iCal exchange support in 10.5.3, and I will eagerly jump this [sinking?] ship.
