What Office version is on CD?

[Charles E Finkenbiner]

Hi,

Great, I had looked in the root of the CD. I did not think to look in
the sub directories, shame on me.


Thanks,

Charles

Hi Matt,

That is the problem. I do not trust the version number

reported by

Help|About.

I had Office XP installed and patched up to date until

Win2000 crashed

(PFN_LIST_CORRUPT). I then had to start over with

everything. After

installing Office XP again I then tried to apply SP3 (I

have it saved

from previous update, in fact I have all 3 SP's). SP3

reports an error

that the expected version was not found and exits.

I then looked at Help|About and it reported that I had SP3

installed. I

know I installed SP3 before and the download is good.

Since I did not

look at Help|About before trying to install SP3 I wanted

to look on the

installation CD for the original version number and patch
level.

So, I would like to know where/if the version information

is stored on

the CD.


Thanks,

Charles
