In this post we'll discuss how to slipstream SP1 into your Office 2013 installation.
The great benefit of this is that after installing Office 2013, it's at SP1 level, so that you don't need to install so many updates after your base installation.
First off, download the SP1 installer package:
Office 2013 SP1 32-bit version
Office 2013 SP1 64-bit version
Once downloaded, put them in a seperate folder on your hard drive:
Then, create the following folder structure:
Copy the content of your Office 2013 DVD to the appropriate DVD folder.
Use the following commandline to extract the contents of the Service Pack to the extract folder.
Accept the license information (note: despite the fact that I'm running an English version of my OS, and I've opened the en-us version of the Service Pack installer, it still somehow comes with the EULA prompt in Dutch...... VERY strange).
The files are being extracted....
After it's completed, it should look something like this:
Now, copy all the files within extract_x86 or extract_x64 to your DVD\Updates folder
After it's done, you can test it by running setup.exe. In my case, I've used a custom msp file, which makes the installation silent. Note that if you have made a custom msp file, it still works, so no further customization is neccessary.
Once installed, you can open up Word 2013 for example, to check what version is installed.
The version 15.0.4569.1506 is the minimum version SP1 is at. Any higher or equal number indicates that you have installed SP1 (this is the same for the 64-bit version).
If you use SCCM, don't forget to update your distribution points!
