I recently applied the Office 10.1.5 update to the Tower and two TiBooks we have. One went smoothly, no hitches. Two others proved difficult, and one remains undone.
All systems were under latest Jaguar update. Two "hung up" after firing up and were difficult to kill off, even Force Quit was balky. Repaired permissions and ran Disk First Aid. One disk has serious issue and so I have suspended that effort pending cure of same, which is not something Disk Utility says it can solve. (Any suggestions about Disk Warrior or Norton from readers?) The second one that hung before, hung again. Went back to MS's instructions, and noted their comment about possibly removing the "Microsoft ComponentPlugin", which I did. That cured the hanging condition, so now it's 2 of 3. Then, since it had been a while since rebuilding those mail databases, did so (complex selected, not just normal). Again, all worked well. However, one of the applications was running in a way allowing some messages to remain at the ISP on the POP account. After rebuilding, the messages already downloaded were downloaded a second time, likely arising from the (complex?) compression's changing message Ids in some fashion. Moral is likely "clean up online messages before (complex?) rebuilding" or something along those lines. Comments?
