Just wanted to check the community before I invest time to see if anyone out there has developed relevance to detect what version of Office is currently installed on a Mac workstaiton.

You can check the version of “MicrosoftComponentPlugin.framework”:

version of folder “MicrosoftComponentPlugin.framework” of folder “Office” of folders of folder “/Applications”

I’m getting an incompatible type error when Mac machines return back their results.

The relevance I’m using is

if (name of operating system starts with “Mac”) then (version of folder “MicrosoftComponentPlugin.framework” of folder “Office” of folders of folder “/Applications”) else (“N/A”)

Is there a relevance debugger for Mac?

You need to cast the version as a string if you want to use it in an if statement along with “n/a”.

if (name of operating system starts with “Mac”) then (version of folder “MicrosoftComponentPlugin.framework” of folder “Office” of folders of folder “/Applications” as string) else (“N/A”)

There is a version of QnA for Mac in the disk image for the Mac client installer. It runs in the terminal. Download it from the Mac TEM client download.

Another thing to note is that for Office 2004 Mac, the file to check is:

“/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Microsoft Component Plugin”
