Does anyone know if this is possible? I could add it to a GPO, but I hear
that the "warning a converter needs to be installed" still pops up when
trying to open a2007file.
Thanks
It is not possible to deploy it with WSUS. And GPO's will work if you
configure it right. Do not try to re wrap the file using MSI programs
such as WIWW and such. The MSI already exists within the EXE, and
creating an MSI over and MSI makes for headaches.....
To deploy the office 2007 compatibility pack through GPO:
First we need to obtain the .MSI for the compatibility pack.
1. Download the FileFormatConverters.exe from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...70-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en"TARGET=NEW>Microsoft
2. Run "FileFormatConverters.exe /extract:c:\temp" (without the
quotes and to whatever temp directory you choose, i choose c:\temp)
from the location where you downloaded the file from. This will unwrap
the .exe.
3. Now you can obtain the MSI file by navigating to your temp
directory, i.e. I would go to c:\temp
4. O12Conv.msi is the file you need, now you can create a GPO
using the correct msi file and Have it work.
GOOD LUCK,
