Hacker Hosting

Reminder to self: [Wayback/Archive] Hacker Hosting

HackerHosting biedt Hackers, die samenkomen in hackerspaces, in hotels en op campings de mogelijkheid om te genieten van hoge kwaliteit hosting in Nederland, tegen een tarief waarvoor zelfs ‘kippenschuur-hosters’ en ‘brandgevaarlijke-datacenter-hosters’ het niet doen.

Updating Microsoft Office on Windows from a batch file

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/04/21

This batch file works for modern Click-to-Run (sometimes called ClickToRun, Click2Run or C2R) based Office installations (note the odd lowercase microsoft shared which indeed is the actual directory name):

  "%CommonProgramFiles%\microsoft shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe" /update user
) else (
  echo could not find the Office Updater
)

This for sure does not work for MSI based Office 2013 and lower (which are updated through Windows Update anyway). Since I only have 2021 online (Click-to-Run) installs and higher to test with: those work fine.
