Hat tip to Paul Thurrott

Remember! Microsoft Office Service Packs are cumulative, you only need the latest service pack.

Here’s how you slipstream Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2).

1. Download the standalone installer (290 MB). The filename is office2007sp2-kb953195-fullfile-en-us.exe.

2. Create two folders in the root of your C: drive. (C:\Extract) and (C:\Updates).

3. Move the Office 2007 SP2 installer to the Extract folder.

4. Open a command line window (CMD with Administrative Privileges) and type the following:

CD C:\Extract

office2007sp2-kb953195-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:C:\Updates

5. Agree to the EULA and then close the Installer when completed.

6. Move the contents of the C:\Updates folder to the Updates folder in your Office 2007 install folder structure.

7. Optionally, burn to disc or, update/file share.
