Checking Prerequisite Microsoft Office Service Pack Status
I need to create a setup program that verifies the user has the latest version of their Office product (Access and Excel) installed on their machine and prompt them if they don't.
For instance, Office 2007 has SP2. We've had some users get new machines and try to install our program and crashed because we weren't expecting them to have the original Office 2007 installed. A quick check in our setup program would tell them to update their version before installing ours.
Thanks in advance.

maybe use a system search condition.

That link should give you version numbers of the files you want to check.

Yes, I know the version number I want but how do I find the location of the file and get that value from within the InstallShield script I write?
