After I wrote about the Office compatibility pack, a reader asked this question:
I just saw your post on the compatibility pack. This seems like an ideal thing we can use here, but I can’t seem to locate the msi file so I can push it through the domain
After doing some experimentation and using the sysinternals tool filemon…I discovered that it extracts the contents of the compatibility pack into this folder:
Then you can simply copy the entire contents of this folder, and put it on a public share.
Then deploy O12Conv.msi to your computers using GPO…and if you don’t know how to do that, then check out my last article about it.
