Hi, I tested the fixlet: Major [ID:500266501] 5002665: Update for Microsoft Excel 2016 - Excel 2016 - KB5002665 (x64) and the fixlet shows failed. I looked further and confirmed the patch was installed successfully but the relevance code checks for the wrong version number. The relevance code checks for version 16.0.5569.1007 but it should be checking for 16.0.5569.1006.

exists keys whose (name of it starts with "{90160000-") of key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" of native registry AND exists (files "EXCEL.exe" of folders (value "path" of key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\excel.exe" of native registry as string)) whose (version of it < "16.0.5569.1007")

Please adjust fixlet so others can benefit from the fix. Thank you.
