Microsoft has released a newer version of: Visual Studio 2010 Tools For Office Runtime Redistributable.

The download includes both x86 and x64 runtimes, is available at the Microsoft download page, and is for XP, VISTA, 7, and 8

Later,

Installed the newer version in Win7 Ultimate 64bit w/SP1 and edited vsto05se_enu.apm to make the following changes:

[DetectionRegistry]
RegistryPath=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{7E587F58-50BE-3557-89F6-14D99CB5FB2A}
KeyName=DisplayVersion
KeyValue=10.0.40307

[DetectionFile]
FilePath=commonfiles:\Microsoft Shared\VSTO\10.0
FileName=VSTOLoader.dll
FileVersion=>10.0.40302.0
FileMD5=1E35B13493C2F02947424DFEC04357F9
FileDate=ANY


Booted into Win7 Ultimate 32bit w/SP1 and had to edit the same APM file to detect the update; added the following:

[DetectionRegistry]
RegistryPath=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{97BA2B90-AF72-35CF-BFDC-E06531811B20}
KeyName=DisplayVersion

Update installed in XP Pro w/SP3 and XP Pro x64 w/SP2 - AutoPatcher still blue for this item so info above valid here too.

Newer version posted at Microsoft downloads today. No mention of what changed but I did notice the downloaded file was larger. Did check and in one place the version was listed as 10,0.40303

So far, no one seems to care about these updates.

Will look into this for you DesertJerry --- since I do not use Microsoft Office and haven't since Office 2000...will need help from the community for the detections... both the registry and file detections..

As this is ViroMan's release may leave this to him and see what transpires.

I included the detections in #1 post

Have updated and forwarded up the chain of command

Script updated, signed and on main list..
Script date Feb 7 2013

Why is Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime Redistributable still listed under Windows Addons and not under Microsoft Offfice Addons where it should be? And where Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 Tools are correctly listed?! Later
I did determine that changing the appropriate APMs will work.
Change vstor_redist_x64.apm from:
[Behavior]
ParentID=WINDOWS_ADDONS_PARENT
UniqueID=VSTOR_REDIST_X64
to:
[Behavior]
ParentID=OFFICE_ADDONS_PARENT
UniqueID=OFFICE_ADDONS_VSTOR_REDIST_X64
and change vstor_redist_x86.apm from:
[Behavior]
ParentID=WINDOWS_ADDONS_PARENT
UniqueID=VSTOR_REDIST_X86
to:
[Behavior]
ParentID=OFFICE_ADDONS_PARENT
UniqueID=OFFICE_ADDONS_VSTOR_REDIST_X86
Then move them from the \modules\Addons folder to the \modules\OfficeAddons folder.
Any other changes, like the script, I will have to leave in someone elses capable hands.

Changes made as per your suggestion DesertJerry, are there any others that need attention before I hand this over to ViroMan for his part.

Not right - will keep looking and I found one:
Almost forgot, could you change the APMs to read as follows (to me they look better and are more correct in their descriptions)
[General]
Title=Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Runtime Redistributable x86
[General]
Title=Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Tools for Office Runtime Redistributable x86
[General]
Title=Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools For Office Runtime Redistributable x64
[General]
Title=Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools For Office Runtime Redistributable x86

Changes made to the titles, anything else before I hand it over

Nope

Office Addons is on releases2 ... if all checks okay will get ViroMan to sign and move to main

Or.. you can sign it and I can move it. You need signing practice anyways.

I noticed a few spots with these apm files, it may not break anything but I go for consistency, anyhooooo...

...vsto05se_enu.apm
...vsto08te_enu.apm

I would uppercase X86 on both.
08' has no [OfficeComponents], although it looks like ANY works for 05' meaning it doesn't matter, still, seeing it is after all an Office apm, just being consistant.

...vstor_redist_x64.apm
...vstor_redist_x86.apm

UniqueID=:
OFFICE_ADDONS_VSTOR_REDIST_X64
OFFICE_ADDONS_REDIST_X86

Downloaded update - something peculiar has happened - Visual Studio 2005 now shows in black, other two blue - have tried to determine why by comparing APMs, so far unsuccessful (Win7 Ultimate 64bit w/SP1, Win7 Ultimate 32bit w/SP1, XP Pro x64 w/SP2, and XP Pro w/SP3).

Tried experiment and renamed downloaded APMs and copied my previous versions to OfficeAddons folder - same result 2005 black, others blue. Right now - clueless as to rationale for change unless the update to releases2 is cause??
Edited by DesertJerry, 06 May 2013 - 10:28 PM.

Updated script on releases2 .. script date 5 May 2013.

It has been signed but not moved to main as yet.

That's the one I used.

Booted #2 system to Win7 Pro 64bit w/SP1.
Coped my edited vsto05se_enu.apm, vsto08te_enu.apm, vstor_redist_x64.apm, and vstor_redist_x86.apm to the \modules\OfficeAddons folder and deleted the older versions from \modules\Addons from AutoPatcher as installed on #2 system.
Started AutoPatcher > Microsoft Office Addons now shows Visual Studio 2005, 2008, and 2010 Tools for office in blue (as expected). I would have to assume the script dated 05 May, which was supposed to update things, is the cause of the error where 2005 shows in black - as mentioned above.
