Thanks for this alert. I think the link for Office 2008 is wrong, and should be:

Oops, yes, thanks. Fixed.
An error message appears after selecting the install volume: "Office 2011 14.2.2 Update can't be installed on this disk. A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume." This also happened with the 14.2.1 update. Updating via MacUpdate Desktop works around the problem.
I got the same error message. After I moved the folder back from a subfolder to Applications, it worked just fine
This lovely update caused me to "lose" an install. I had to re register the program after the update. Microsoft said to contact them if it proved to be a problem in the future. This was on a Mac Pro, my Macbook Pro updated without any problem.
Outlook 14.2.2 is still not playing ball well with Gmail IMAP.
Moving a message to another mailbox (or Gmail's Trash) generates a second spurious copy of the message in All Mail. Each subsequent move of the message creates yet another spurious copy.
It also will not let me rename a Gmail IMAP folder. After selecting 'Rename Folder', the normal highlighted text box shows but reverts before you have time to make changes.
Selecting a mailbox and pressing Command-Delete moves the whole mailbox and its messages to what looks like the Gmail Trash, but is not regarded as being within Trash by Gmail, which treats it as a separate Label.
These problems do not occur with Exchange Accounts.

Gmail does IMAP a bit weirdly, but it's still surprising that such things would have slipped past testing.
