how to determine which version of MS Office is installed

I have to write an auto patcher for all of the client pcs, but some are
running different versions of office.

How can I determine which version of Microsoft Office is installed? Do I
get it from the registry?

Thanks

You could look at HKLM\Software\M icrosoft\Office and all the versions would
be listed in that key. You could also look at the folders in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\ which would contain all the installed versions of
Office. It depends what you need to update.

We have a citrix server that users will be signing into from a remote location. One application is an Access database. Right now, lan users are using the Access 2003 runtime to run these applications. Installing the runtime on the citrix server(s) isn't a big deal. The catch is, I want to install a copy of the full version of Access so that I can sign in and do some developing if I have to. Is it possible to have both the runtime...

We've fooled around with Access a bit, but only using the single-user store-bought version. It seems to be a good database - versatile and infinitely programmable - and can apparently be used as a front end to SQL server if we ever needed to go that route. But - is there a client/server version of Access ? Looking on the CDW site there is a bewildering variety of packages and licences and such, but we can't figure out just which do...

I need to determine if Excel 2007 is installed. For Office 2003, we had the component ID for Excel 2003 and could use the msi.dll to enumerate and that would tell us if it was installed: iRet = MsiGetComponentPath(sProductCode.Trim, sComponentID, sPath, iLen) sProductCode is the Office 2003 Product Code, sComponentID is the Excel 2003 component ID. sPath would hold the path to excel.exe.

A client of mine likes some of the new bells and whistles in Access 2007, and is thinking about converting our A03 format MDB to an A07 format file. However, while some of the users have A07, many do not, and it's not clear when they would get it. His thought was to use the upcoming Access 2007 runtime to allow the users who are still running Office 2003 to be able to run the database. While I use multiple versions of Access on my...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
