Office or MAC update not working

[Copperhead]

Hello everyone,

My Office for MAC updater keeps telling me I have a critical update to do, but after it finishes downloading, it says I can't apply it
to my main hard drive, which is where all my programs are installed.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Is there enough space on the main drive to do the update?

What version of Office are you wishing to update? Which update are you trying to apply?  Is there a possibility that you may be trying to apply an update for which there is a prerequisite? For example the latest update to Office 2008 is the 12.1.7 Update. But it cannot be applied without first applying the 12.1.0 Update.
