From https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4011086/descriptionofthesecurityupdateforoutlook2007september12-2017:

“After you install this security update, Outlook may display mixed languages in the user interface. To fix this issue, follow these steps:

Uninstall security update 4011086. Read the following section for information about how to do this.

Install Security Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (KB4011110).”

So Microsoft cannot automate it’s own fix properly (KB4011110 automatically uninstalling KB4011086 prior it’s own installation).

Jump though that hoop, jump! (whiplash sound)

What a mess… (sigh)

4011086 is still showing up for me on Windows Update, while 4011110 is not. Should I hide 4011086 and wait for 4011110 to make its appearance?

I am seeing KB4011110 but not KB4011086. I have not installed the September updates yet.

@Cybertooth:

If you have hidden KB4011086, go back into Windows Update and unhide it. That should force Windows Update to do a new scan for it and any replacements that have superseded it, at which time you should see KB4011110 instead of KB4011086. I haven’t installed any updates yet and just ran Windows Update before posting this and it came back with 4011110 instead of 4011086. As a side note, when I did have 4011086 showing up in the list, it was unchecked meaning that either MS knew something was up with it or wanted it to be installed all by itself.

I never did hide 4011086, but when I came back to my PC this morning (left it turned on overnight) and clicked on the Windows Updates icon in the notification area, this time it was 4011110 that was listed. So my list of patches is now up to date.

Outlook 2007 displays wrong languages

STOP THE PRESS!

There appears to be conflicting information between this article and the MS article on which update needs to be uninstalled before installing KB4011110 depending on the OS you have.

The MS link provided above states to uninstall KB3191855 for Vista and Win 7… and KB4011086 is listed to uninstall for Windows 10, 8, 8.1 and XP.

Something doesn’t sound right here, I’ve seen no previous mention anywhere about uninstalling KB3191855.

I’m pretty sure that the reference to KB3191855 in that article should have been KB4011086.

I’m “pretty sure” too as KB3191855 is an Excel update from 3/2017, and only MS would know why they posted that. Regardless… that’s what’s in there as you can clearly see in PKCano’s screen shot.

I wouldn’t expect anybody from M$ to be proof reading as it shows “Revision 18” at the bottom of the article. However, I’m surprised nobody else HERE noticed the discrepancy.

I reported issue to Microsoft via the KB4011086 page.

Microsoft fixed the erroneous text.

I wonder what happens if one doesn’t uninstall the “bad” Office update…

I am not seeing any mixed languages in Outlook 2010, and Office in general is working fine for me.

My “if it works don’t fix it” life philosophy is conflicting with my “what if” tingly spider sense…

I remember when applying Windows updates for most folks was a quick, once-a-month task. Microsoft has now turned such maintenance into a Full-Time Job requiring consumers to have research, quality assurance and risk management skills.  It would be laughable if it wasn’t such a sad state of affairs.
