It looks like the issue with the relevance reported 3 weeks back Link is still happening with the new AutoUpdate 4.1.18070902 version posted here. So since it’s the same relevance issue, I’m copying/pasting my previous post and just changing the version for consistency :slight_smile:

The fixlet for AutoUpdate 4.1.18070902 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 < “4.1.18070902” as version) of string “CFBundleShortVersionString” of dictionary of file “/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app/Contents/Info.plist”))
