Programmatically Determine if Excel 2007 SP1 is Installed

[Drew Lettington]

I have an Excel add-in that needs to determine whether SP1 of Excel 2007 is
installed. Is there a registry entry or something else that can be queried
at runtime to determine the version?

I noticed in the Excel UI both 2007 and 2007 SP1 show the version number as
12.0.6324.5001.

Use a combination of application.version (which will return 12)
and application.build. With SP1, .build will return 6324

A bit of googling might find you a table that has various version
and build numbers. I couldn't find one quickly to post a link to.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office Sp1 is
build 6214, so the 6324 you and I have must include some post SP1
fixes, so when testing, make sure build is above 6213 and version
is at 12. That should ensure the addin is on 2007 Sp1.
