I need assistance relating product codes to the products I need to update on
my network. When preparing to update Microsoft Office clients on my network
with the latest patches, I have some confusion relating the product codes
listed in Microsoft's update information with the exact products I need to
update. I install and apply updates using administrative installation
points. When applying the updates to the clients, I run a command similar to
(as Microsoft instructs):
Msiexec /I Admin Path\MSI File /qb REINSTALL=Feature List REINSTALLMODE=vomu
The Feature List can be obtained from the update information website by
finding which product you have in the table provided under Administrative
Installation Information. For example, MS07-015 applies to several Office
products (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-015.mspx).
There is a table under General Information -> Security Update Information ->
Office 2003 -> Administrative Installation Information -> Workstation
Deployment Information. In this table, there is a column of products and a
column of features. I'm not sure how to relate the product codes in the
table to the actual products I have. That forces me to use a Feature List of
ALL, and using that essentially performs a reinstall of Office on the
workstation. This is time consuming and unnecessary. Is there a resource
that translates (for example, 09PRO - Office 2000 Professional.)?
