MS Office version - 2/6/2008 3:33:17 AM

Status: offline 		I have created a script that queries a PC for the build version of MS Office.


I have ran locally on my PC and works fine but when running and connecting to remote PC's I get an error message

ActiveX components can't create object : 'Word.Application'

Now info I've found on the web says that either I have no rights (connecting as Domain Admin) or Office is not installed (Which I know it is)

Am I missing something *really* obvious? 


      


Any pointers much appreciated. :)


Edited to add : I run this from a DOS box. Otherwise be prepared for triple pop-up boxes :)

Status: offline 		Hhhhm, interesting. Only get that error on PC's that are running Office 2003 SP2.  (Without SP2 returns build of 11.0.5604)

Not sure why it's only happening on SP2 machines?

Status: offline 		I was going to do this originally but read somewhere that not as reliable as written in different parts of the registry?

Where is best in reg? I have checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\ProductVersion and this returns (11.0.7969.0) which is different to the build I get when I do a Help - About from office application I get build 6568?

Mucho Confusedo
