Basics on Microsoft AutoUpdater (MAU) There is only one version of the MAU for Office 2008 regardless if you have v12 or v13 installed.
This file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.autoupdate2.plist says what is on the machine. All MAU does is look at the list in that plist to see what is on the machine and then goes up to the download center to see if there is anything that works with the products on the machine. MAU is ignorant about those items in the list - it just knows to go look for manifests related to them. If you get a notice to update when you know you are updated, check to see if you have other versions of Office installed that the MAU is finding. MAU wants to update, but then when the update comes down the updater sees Office in the right location and doesn't go looking for others. Open the plist and see what copies of Office it sees on the machine. -- Diane Ross, Microsoft Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> Entourage Help Blog <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/> Follow us on twitter <https://twitter.com/entouragehelp> -- 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
