| The following are instructions for how to Slipstream Service Packs into an Office2007 or Office2010 Installation | |
| 1. | Make a directory on your computer and copy the entire contents of your Office CD to that directory. For example purposes, I’ll use C:\Office |
| 2. | Go to Microsoft’s web site and download the latest service pack available for your version of Office. |
| 3. | For simplicity, put this file in a directory that is going to be easy to get to from a command prompt like C:\SP2 |
| 4. | After downloading the file, again for simplicity, rename it to something like sp.exe. For example, Service Pack 2 for Office2007 is called office2007sp2-kb953195-fullfile-en-us.exe. Rename it to SP.exe. You will see why in the next steps. |
| 5. | Open up a command prompt. With WindowsXP ( Start / Run / CMD ). With Vista or Windows7 ( Start / CMD ) |
| 6. | Change to the directory with the service pack file. Following the above example – CD \SP2 |
| 7. | Using the above example, type in SP /EXTRACT:C:\SP2 |
| 8. | If you have Vista or Windows7, depending on your User Access Control Settings, click on the Yes button |
| 9. | Check to accept the Microsoft License and click on the Continue button |
 |
|
| 10. | Files will then be uncompressed to C:\SP2 directory |
| 11. | Click on OK |
 |
|
| 12. | Start the Windows Explorer and to go the C:\SP2 directory |
| 13. | Highlight all but the SP.EXE file |
 |
|
| 14. | Right click and select Copy |
| 15. | Change to the C:\OFFICE\UPDATES directory |
| 16. | Paste them to that location |
| 17. | Now you can copy the entire contents of the Office directory to a new CD or DVD. |
| 18. | Any installs made will now automatically include that service pack |
