The fixlet for AutoUpdate 4.0.18061000 contains incorrect relevance and is causing reported failures to occur when the app is in fact getting updated.

Relevance should be look at CFBundleVersion not CFBundleShortVersionString

((exists file “/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app/Contents/Info.plist”) AND ((it as version < “4.0.18061000” as version) of string “CFBundleShortVersionString” of dictionary of file “/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app/Contents/Info.plist”))
