In most cases, when installation of an update fails part-way through, with
the installer either quitting unexpectedly in the accompaniment of an error
message or exhibiting an indefinite hang necessitating a force-quit, the
result is all or some of the Microsoft Office applications are completely
missing.

The only remedy is to re-install Office from your CD and update. FWIW, this
is not a MS specific problem. It can happen with any update process.

Tip: I suggest stuffing the Office folder prior to updating in case of
problems. Easy to revert to previous install.
