***WARNING***
re: KB3001652 Update rollup for Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime
I cannot get this to install. Windows update just sits there like it is stuck.
A quick Google search shows others are having this problem too.
I suggest skipping this. I will continue to look for more info.
***UPDATE 1525HRS EST***
It appears Microsoft may have pulled this update.
***UPDATE 12FEB2015***
Update fixed. Installed without issue.
