If you have other versions of Office installed, the updater will find them, but it won¹t actually install until you are booted from that volume. Confusing?? Yes!! Here is how MAU works... MAU is activated (manually or when the timer goes off if you have it set for automatically) MAU looks in the com.microsoft.autoupdate2.plist file to see what you have installed (you can open it up and see what you have listed installed each app that registers with MAU puts its location, version, and language in the file) Then MAU checks on at the microsoft.com server to see if there are any updates for the applications you have. When it finds that there is a match (an app you have and an app that needs an update), then it asks the server what is the trigger mechanism for the update. With the trigger mechanism (MAU uses the version of Microsoft Component Plugin), it checks the location the app said it was installed and sees if the trigger matches the requirements. If so, then it pulls down the update. -- Diane -- YouTalk mailing list List information: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
