Why Is My Microsoft Autoupdate Not Opening Mac

I have been running MS Office 2011 for Home and Student on my MacBookPro (OS 10.6.8 ) without any problems. Now all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, it crashes when I start, Excel, Word, or PowerPoint. I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it three times using the following instructions from this link as well as read threads with others having the same issue but I can't seem to fix it.. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768
After each uninstall, I did a startup from my Install CD and ran Disk Repair and Repair Permissions before reinstalling MS Office. Permissions and Disk Repair stated everything was fine and no problems found.
When I click on Word or Excel, it crashes and below is the report that I got when I just now opened Excel and I get the same with Word. I've even tried holding down the shift key and starting up Excel or Word and it still crashes.
I am far from being computer savvy but can someone please tell me why I can't get MS Office to work and explain to me in user friendly terms how I can fix it? I would really appreciate it. Thank you beforehand.

AutoUpdate 3.0.5 was installed with the last Office update a few days ago. Microsoft has backed off from the mess it made with a new version of AutoUpdate you can download now. The problem only happens if you're using both the Office 2016 preview Microsoft has posted as well as Office 2011.

Once you installed the previous version of AutoUpdate, you'd find that it would locate but would be unable to install an update to Office 2011. What's worse, the AutoUpdate program would grab lots of memory and generally make a mess of things. People were running into this problem:

To get past it, the easiest thing to do is to to run AutoUpdate again. It'll find the updated version of itself and install it. To do so, just select the 'Check for Updates' option in the Help menu of any open Microsoft application.

If that doesn't work, or if you don't trust AutoUpdate to do the right thing, you can download the latest updater from Microsoft's web site and install it yourself. That'll download to your Downloads folder as a .pkg file.

How to run the AutoUpdate installer

  1. Double-click on 'Microsoft AutoUpdate 3.0.6.pkg' to launch the installer.
  2. Click Continue.
  3. Click Continue again to install it to your Mac's hard drive.
  4. Click Install.
  5. Enter your administrator password and click Install Software.
  6. After it's done click the Close button.
