The Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007, also known as FileFormatConverters.exe was updated yesterday to include SP2 - time to update your script. I do not if any of the hotfixes are also included in the new version.

true. this time they have in deed updated this file. i'm unsure about the detections for this one so please, be patient. just in case, the old ones are those:

[DetectionFile]
FilePath=progfiles:\Microsoft Office\Office12
FileName=MOC.exe
FileVersion=>12.0.4518.1014
FileMD5=
FileDate=ANY

probably the new ones will be very similar

thanks

ok, here goes an test: can anyone running the enu version of this tool check for those registry keys?

the machine that i've tried didn't had Wow6432Node, so i did an guess. but still, that machine was running an localized version and sometimes the detections aren't the same than the enu version. so please...

For your info: a test done here: http://siginetsoftwa...hp?t=668&page=2 indicates the new compatibility pack when installed includes the four hotfixes previously required - check the posting for the numbers.

Hope this helps.

none of those kbs are for office 2k3. so still, the issue about the detection is in there. i can't be sure about the detections for this one because i'm running an localized version. my enu vm is down and due that, i can't be sure about the detection. if i can't be sure, the best thing to do is wait to someone confirm or not the detection (right now, i don't have free time to rebuild my enu vm)

The folks here: http://siginetsoftwa...hp?t=668&page=2 have verified that the new FileFormatConverters.exe (also known as: Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 w/SP2) is all that is needed as it includes SP2 and all hotfixes (office2007-kb973704-fullfile-x86-glb.exe, office2007-kb972581-fullfile-x86-glb.exe, office2007-kb969618-fullfile-x86-glb.exe, and office2007-kb969613-fullfile-x86-glb.exe); therefore the APUP update script should be changed to reflect this information. The listing should be changed from: Microsoft Office Compatability Pack 2007 - Critical Updates to: Microsoft Office Compatability Pack 2007 w/SP2

These same folks did list all these hotfixes as required when a user is running the Office Integrator and is in then process of creating a new Office 2003 CD. (That's why I've listed them.)
