Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and P..

Hi,

Can WSUS be used to push out the "
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007
File Formats"?

If not, is there a way to extract the MSI out of the
FileFormatConverters.exe so that I can use a GPO to push it out?

Thanks!

No, the MS response was:

"Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2007
File Formats was not engineered to be deployed to Microsoft Update and WSUS.
The Pack, as designed, needs to target a language-specific version of Office
XP/2003, and due to the possible MUI combinations available within an
enterprise, there is no way to automatically identify the user's preferred
language. In addition, installing multiple language-specific versions of the
Pack on the same machine is not supported. Therefore, we are requiring
customers to select their preferred language when downloading the Pack from
the Download Center."
