All the new desktop computers and notebooks now come with Office Starter pre-installed, but every time you format the computer or do a factory restore and need to reinstall Office starter again it can take several minutes, sometimes even hours, to install and update it using the old setup folders included by the computer manufacturers. This tools allows creating or updating install folders for the latest Office Starter version, that is still regularly updated by Microsoft, to make installs quicker and permanent and avoid all the annoying "Office is downloading new features" warnings.
In short, this tool can:
retrieve the latest office 2010 starter setup files from the public click2run server
create office-to-go USB sticks without requiring office 2010 starter to be installed
update your previous office setup folder or office-to-go sticks to the latest version just by running this tool again on the same folder (it will also delete the previous older setup files keeping the install 100% clean)
How to use

Select a previous Office Starter install folder or an empty folder you created
