ODT Missing March 2008 Office 2007 Updates

[PaqDev]

The ODT is not detecting the following updates:
- Security Update for MS Office Excel 2007 (KB946974)
- Security Update for MS Office Outlook 2007 (KB946983)
- Security Update for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB947801)
- Update for MS Office Outlook 2007 Junk EMail Filter (KB947945)

The patchdata.xml file does include references for these updates in the
<LOCALINFO> section, but they are missing from the <BUNDLECATALOG> section.
Therefore, these patches are not being detected using the ODT.

When will Microsoft fix the ODT to include these missing patches?

Hi PaqDev,

My understanding is that folks may need to consider using MBSA and WSUS rather than the Office Inventory Catalog and Office
Detection Tool for Office 2007. Office 2007's multiple MSI structure is different than prior versions that the particular tool was
built for.

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid of that. I've started using the WUA API
as a back-up to the ODT. I guess I'll have to go all the way and only use
the WUA API pretty soon.
