Detect SP version by script (Office 2010)

Hello, I want to push the Office 2010 SP2 upgrade through SCCM and I am trying to detect the Service Pack version of Office 2010 by script but I am having some difficulties.
According to this site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687455/fr) it says that Office 2010 SP2 is greater or equal than 14.0.7015.1000. I
have Office 2010 SP1 and my version is 14.0.7116.5000...obviously, I can't rely on that.
Also, to make things more complicated, we have the following :
Office 2010 Pro Plus and Office 2010 Standard (we also have different versions of 2003 and 2007 too...!)
Some computers only have Word or Excel installed, nothing else...so I guess the common file for all these installations would be MSO.dll ?
Office 2010 could have been installed any of these ways :
with no SP
with no SP, then SP1 applied
with SP1 applied directly in the CD
Any idea of what could be the best way for me to easily detect the SP version ??? How did you guys manage to do it ?
Thanks!

Hi,
A simple method to detect the SP version is to go to Control Panel
-> Programs -> Programs and Features ->
View installed updates, from there we can see all the Updates for Microsoft Office, we can easily tell if the Service Pack has been installed.
Here is my update list for Microsoft Office 2013:
Apparently I've installed Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013.
This is simple and can be quite helpful.

New font versions installed by Office 2010

Hi Forum,
I know that e.g. the Calibri font is updated with a newer version when installing Office 2010.
What I am missing is a list that tells me which fonts to update on a print server. Running a pure print server includes NOT having Office packs installed. Therefore the fonts will never be updated and I do not like the idea that I cannot upload correct fonts
to the server in good time rather than having to wait until users reports issues printing.
How do others overcome this issue on their print queues? I would assume that rendering on the client would overcome this problem. But then it will give the users extra CPU load and increase the size of the spool jobs from the client to the server.
Thanks,
David

But just getting the list is only part of the solution. How do I prevent this from ever happening. I can never be in control of the font versions installed on the client PCs.
What are others doing?

Office 2010 32bit-version on 64bit-laptop?

I bought Office 2010 32 bit-version to download at surfspot.nl. That's legal software for cheaper price, specially for students. It was said that the this version would work at a 64bit-laptop.
But when I try to install this version, my laptop keeps saying that it does not support the 32bit-version.
Can anyone help me solve this problem and download this version on my laptop?

Hello,
The 32-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010 runs under both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 7.
It could be that your computer is missing a software package that is needed to install Microsoft Office 2010. Try running Microsoft Update and download all the available updates, hotfixes and patches, including "optional" ones. Then try installing Office 2010 again.

Office 2010 SP2 deploy several systems

We are deploying Office 2010 Standard thru Group Policy. SP2 i downloaded later so there are a dozen systems already installed office without the SP2. The meaning is to also install the SP2 Office to the machines which have gotton Office 2010 without SP2.
The quistion i have is: how do i deploy SP2 Office update thru GPO to several machines which already got the Office 2010 Standard installed. How to install Updates office thru GPO? This is not a setup file but all MSP files in the SP2?
I have already seen that one can do it by script but how?
freddie

Hi,
Your require could be done via script. I think you need to add some if-else sentences in the script. We could use version number to determine which machines need to install SP2.
The version number of Office 2010 SP2 is greater than or equal to 14.0.7015.1000.
The version number of Office 2010 SP1 is greater than or equal to 14.0.6029.1000 but less than
14.0.7015.1000.
The version number of the original RTM release of Office 2010 (that is, with no service pack) is greater than or equal to
14.0.4763.1000 but less than 14.0.6029.1000.

Cant uninstall Click to run MS Office 2010 beta

Trying to upgrade MS office 2007 to 2010, it won't allow me to install. It says it can't upgrade a beta version of 2010, so uninstall to continue.
When I try to install the upgrade I get a setup error which states "setup is unable to proceed due to the following errors: Microsoft Office 2010 does not support upgrading from a pre release version of Microsoft Office 2010. You must first uninstall
any pre release version of Microsoft Office 2010 products and associated technologies. Correct the issues listed above and re run setup."
So I then go into my control panel under programs and uninstall or change a program, the only thing I find related is Microsoft Office click-to-run 2010 beta. When I try to uninstall this I get this message, under click to run application manager it says
"the action cannot be completed. Try the action again. If the problem continues, contact Microsoft product support."
Any ideas on how to proceed?

sorry, i have find out the root cause of this issue
i changed winecfg version to win7, last night. it became normally after i changed it back to XP.
BTW , office 2010 needs msxml6 and office 2007 needs msxml3 , they are different .dont make it wrong.
though office 2010 works fine , but @thisllub , you are right , activation is still broken.

How to automatcally uninstall Office 2007 32 bit for installation of Office 2010 64 bit

I have an MSP that will automatically install my companies 64 bit version of Office 2010 provided Office 2007 32 bit is already uninstalled. However, the option to uninstall previous versions of Office does not work in the MSP. We have Office 2007 32 bit
currently installed and whenever I run the MSP I receive the following: "Setup Error You cannot install the 64 bit version of the Office 2010 because you have 32 bit Office products installed."
Is there a way to automatically remove Office 2007 using the MSP or some other method? Thanks.
Wedgies

What are you creating your MSP with? I'm thinking that because you're calling the Office 64bit setup routine, that one of the first checks it does before it even processes your config.xml file is to check for previous versions installed, and it hits
the 32bit wall and stops. What you should probably do is create a package that has two routines in it. First process the uninstall of Office 2007 32bit, and once that's done process the Office 64 bit installation. You could do this with a
package created by Installshield or Wise and some logic to process Step 1 (Remove Office 32bit) and then upon success of that process Step 2 (Office 64bit Install).
On a different note...is there a business requirement that you have for the 64Bit version of office? If not...I don't think this is all worth the headache, unless you specifically need umpteen million rows of data in Excel, and the machines you're
deploying on have more than 4GB of RAM....just my opinion...
Also, I'm not sure this is a volume activation question though you might get more responses from the Setup and Deployment forum

Still no Outlook toolbar, x64, Office 2010?

A while ago I installed Acrobat 9 on Windows 7, 64 bit with Office 2010. One thing that annoyed me was the lack of an Acrobat toolbar within Outlook, and no way to click a PDF button from within Office applications to create a PDF file through Acrobat. At the time I think that the support team told me a fix was coming (something about 64 bit, or Outlook 2010, I don't remember).
It still doesn't seem to work after the latest updates, is there any new progress on this to report?

Acrobat does not support the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010. It will work on 64-bit *operating systems*, but you must use the 32-bit version of Office.

DDE server window error - Office 2010

dear microsoft team,
i recently installed microsoft office 2010 on my company laptop which is running on Windows XP sp3 platform.
since then, the sofeware is not runing properly, the office 2010 programs stop responding everytime after i open them, it happened in Word, Excel, and Access, i am sure if i use other program in Office 2010 they would be the same. i suffer some data lost
as i had to manually force to close the Not responding window.
another funny thing since i installed the lastest version of Microsoft office 2010 is that, everytime i try to shut down the laptop, the DDE server Window error message keeps showing up, sometimes it comes out
few times, so i had to wait longtime until i can shut the computer.
after tried few times, i notice that if i don't use any of the Office 2010 program when turn on the computer,
i can shut down without hassel, but as long as after i used word, excel or access then DDE server window error shows up when i try to shut down the machine. so i think it has to do with the new Office 2010.
i'd appreciate if you can help here. thanks in advace.

xiaoming

Hi,
1. Regarding this issue, you can check this KB:
The program stops responding when you try to open or to save a file in an Office 2002 program, in an Office 2003 program, in an Office 2007 program, or in an Office 2010 program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313937
2. If you received any error code or the error message, please let me know. So we can handle this issue better.
3. If the issue still persists, let's use safe mode to check issue, you can refer to the following template:
To start the Office program in safe mode
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to Microsoft Office.
2. Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Office program you want to start.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Office program, we can try to disable them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Office program:
Disable add-ins
1. Click File menu, click Options > Add-in, click Go button in the Manage: Com-in Add.
2. Check if there are any add-ins, clear the checkbox to disable them.
3. Close the Office program and restart it.
4. Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In, restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
If the problem persists after this, let's try to repair the Office program from:
Start -> Control Panel > Programs and Features, right click the Office program and choose Change, then Repair.
Best Regards,
Nick Wan

Use Office 2010 Starter on PC with Windows 7

Hi,
Can I use a Office 2010 Starter on PC with Windows 7?
Thanks,
RLV

Microsoft Office Starter 2010 is a simplified, ad-funded version of Microsoft Office 2010 that comes pre-loaded. You don't need a license for it. If you buy an OEM computer, you can get it pre-loaded.
If you find that you want more features, you can upgrade to Office 2010 right from Office Starter 2010. Just click

Captivate 5.5 and MS Office 2010

Hello
Can anybody tell me if Captivate 5.5 is MS Office 2010 compatible? Can I publish a project to Word 2010?
Thank you.

I believe Rick is correct. I've seen instances where a PC had an earlier version of MS Office installed and was then upgraded to a later version, but the new install did not remove all vestiges of the previous install. So that could explain why Captivate is pulling up MS Word 2007.
Do you happen to know if this PC arrived out of the box with MS Office 2010, or was it originally running MS 2007 and then upgraded? In the corporate environment this type of thing happens all the time.
Another thing to consider is that, to my knowledge, Microsoft does not now offer a true upgrade from Office 2007. When I tried to buy an upgrade for my own development laptop (as I have always done in past years when new Office versions came out) I found that I could only purchase a full version of MS Office 2010. There was no upgrade installer.
So if your PC was upgraded to 2010, it's quite possible that Office 2007 is still sitting there in the background somewhere...unseen...until Captivate happened to call it up.
When you drill down to Program FIles > Microsoft Office how many Office# folders do you happen to see there? In my case I have two because I've just been upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007. (Yeah some corporates are more backward than others. I'm still running WinXP at this gig.)

Microsoft office 2010 help

microsoft office 2010 keeps trying to make a internet connection for some sort of download, which i never approved of being since i have never used the microsoft office 2010 pre installed on my HP 2011x pc i deleted it where it just says microsoft office
on my programs the others click to run and click to run english 2010 i left alone. will it do anything to my microsoft word starter 2010 that i use often ? when writing a book on the word starter i figured this might be a need to know

Hi,
Microsoft Office Starter 2010 is a simplified, ad-funded version of Microsoft Office 2010 that comes pre-loaded and ready to use on your computer. Office Starter is different from the complete version of Office in that it includes just two productivity programs
(Word Starter and Excel Starter), and the interface includes display advertising.
And Office Starter uses Click-to-Run as its technology for installation and maintenance on your computer.

Office 2010 setup thru computer startup script

I am trying to install Office 2010 (sp2 seperate in the updates folder) thru group policy startup script and configured with OCT .msp file. Also try to start Access Runtime 2010 with SP2 update in the updates folder.
In group policy set run scripts asynchronisely disabled and run scripts visible enabled otherwise i could not see what the system was doiing also not when configiguring OCT with full display. The gpo settings lets the screens show during install so the user
can see what happens.
There is another problem that rises however: I have made 2 batchfiles and both are starting as a computer startup script in seperate gpo's (that is in another post). First the Accessruntime is installing, after that Office 2010 is running. Both are installed
after login but only one of the 2 have SP2 installed (7015) in this case Accessruntime has it. When i run only the Office 2010 install and not the Accesruntime 2010 then Office 2010 standard has also SP2 installed (version 7015). When running both only Runtime
has this sp2 and Office has 4763 this is without sp2 i believe.
In both folders (Office en Runtime) are the update files .msp in the updates folder of the installation, so thats ok.
Why is only 1 of the 2 installing the SP2 when running both?
A second thing is when restarting the system and before the login screen appears a message: Upgradepatch cannot be installed by Windows installer becasue the upgraded program does not excist of the upgradepatch is not suitable for this program?
Here is part of the batchfile:
IF EXIST "c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE" (goto mkfile) ELSE (goto DeployOffice)
:mkfile
ECHO Office 2010 is reeds geinstalleerd>c:\temp\office.txt
goto end
:DeployOffice
call cscript \\sharename\office2010\Offscrub03.vbs ALL /bypass 1 /q /s /NoCancel
start /wait %DeployServer%\setup.exe /adminfile %DeployServer%\officeconfig.msp
echo %date% %time% Setup ended with error code %errorlevel%. >> %LogLocation%\%computername%.txt
Another batchfile
start \\sharename\accessruntime2010\setup.exe /config \\share\accessruntime2010\config.xml
REM echo %date% %time% Setup ended with error code %errorlevel%. >> %LogLocation%\%computername%.txt
freddie
after installing both runtime and office both have SP2 in updates folder:
runtime 4763
Office 2010: 7015
So in this example runtme is installed without the SP2. installing runtime alone gives with SP2...
The message is gone. There was a other policy inherited from above that caused the message. The only problem now is that when installing both, runtime 2010 with SP2 files and Office 2010 with SP2 files, then one of the two don't get the Sp2 installed, why
is that?

> In the bat file, I have a line that records if the install completes

So it is NOT GP related but rather your script fails?!? Put some "echo
%~n0 %date% %time%>>Log-File-Of-Your-Choice.txt" in it to check what's
going on. And put ">>Log-File-Of-Your-Choice.txt 2>&1" at the end of
critical commands to capture their output.

I still did not figure out why the installation script did not work for some of the PCs, even though the PCs have the same image. For the ones that don't work, I will install manually. Can you please look at the screenshots of the GPO

Scripted Import MRU list from Office 2010.

Hello all, i was wondering if anyone could help with this, we have a script that exports the MRUs as reg keys from office 2010, it exports the following as a .reg file on the source machine, and on the destination machine it imports the reg key so a user
moving machines has all of their recent documents:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\File MRU]
"Max Display"=dword:00000019
"Item 1"="[F00000000][T01CF9ABB0FC89840][O00000000]*C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Documents\\FILENAME.xlsx"
This works absolutely fine when coming from 2010 and going to 2010, however since we have put 2013 on the destination machines, the script doesn't work due to the user ID field being unique to each user:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\User MRU\AD_CC97ADD968A5532BF33D5693E751F2355768058F0819CBCF30AD727C87634047\File MRU]
"Max Display"=dword:00000019
"Item 1"="[F00000000][T01CF9ABB0FC89840][O00000000]*C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Documents\\FILENAME.xlsx"
would anyone know of a way to export from 2010, obtain the AD_CC9...... ID, and change the .reg file to this as part of a scripted import?
as it stands im having to open each application (word, excel, powerpoint) and click on file to generate the AD_CC..... reg key, then copy the key name from registry editor, and edit my 2010 exported .reg files to re-import manually on the destination machine.

Running Microsoft Script Editor after installing Office 2010

As per this link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/use-office-excel-2010-with-earlier-versions-of-excel-HA010342994.aspx
Microsoft Script Editor is installed along with Office 2010, even though it cannot be accessed from the UI. However, I cannot find it. I've looked in the installation folder, and in Program Files\Common Files for MSE7.EXE, and could not find it.
Previously, when I encountered a Javascript error, I would get a window prompting me to choose a debugger. Now I get a window saying no debuggers are found.
I would use IE8's built-in developer tools, but that doesn't help when debugging an HTA or under WSH.
I am using Office 2010 Professional Plus on Windows XP SP3.

Microsoft Script Editor (MSE) seems has been removed from Office 2007 and Office 2010.
That means MSE will not install when you have installed office 2010.
Microsoft Script Editor (MSE) has been removed from Office 2010 from what I can tell; however, it is still installed in Office 2007. There isn't a default botton configurationm to bring it up like in Office 2003. If you want to access it make sure it is installed
with the installation of Office 2007 and make a shortcut going to "%programfiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\MSE7.EXE". If anyone finds where it is in office 2010 please let me know or has a definitive "no it is not a feature."

Office Plug-in : support for MS Office 2010 version

We tried to use the Office Plug-in that is available with OBIEE version 10.1.3.3.2 for MS Office 2010 version.
It does not work and throws an error message that indicates Office 2003 or Office 2007 are the versions that are supported.
Questions:
1. Is there a patch available for this plug-in that will work with Office 2010 version?
2. Does OBIEE 11.1.1.3 (Current release) support Office 2010 through the plug in? If not any insight into when Office 2010 is supported by the OBIEE Office Plug-in
Also, I heard that Office Plug-in and Smart View are going to be merged into a single product in the future releases... any thoughts on this as well.
Thanks
Sundar

We raised a support log few weeks back on this. The answer Support gave:
At the moment, Office 2010 is not certified against the current release of OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 and OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0
Oracle is planning on Supporting MS Office 2010 on with BI 10.1.3.4.2 and 11.1.1.4.0. No official eta's for the releases at this stage.
