This is a silent installer for the Compatibility Pack for MS Office 2007, which allows earlier versions of Office to read/write Office 2007 file formats. With this package installed you can open the new XML-based formats like .docx in Office 2003.
You can get the download from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&displaylang=en
Extract it to a directory by running:
FileFormatConverters.exe /extract:C:\My\Path
wpkg packages.xml fragment:
<package id="off2007fmtconv" name="Office 2007 Compatibility Pack" revision="1" priority="1" reboot="false">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system" />
<install cmd='msiexec /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\Office_2007_Compatibility_Pack\O12Conv.msi"' />
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\Office_2007_Compatibility_Pack\O12Conv.msi"' />
<remove cmd='msiexec /qn /x{90120000-0020-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}' />
</package>
You can use the following logical check so that the package set will run against machines with Office 2000 and 2003, but not on machines that already have 2007 installed.
<check type="logical" condition="or">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system" />
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007" />
</check>
If you want to install this without extracting first you can use the following script:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<packages>
<package
id="off2007fmtconv"
name="Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office System"
revision="200803131"
priority="1">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system" />
<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\off2007fmtconv\FileFormatConverters.exe /q' />
<upgrade cmd='%SOFTWARE%\off2007fmtconv\FileFormatConverters.exe /q' />
<remove cmd='msiexec /qn /x {90120000-0020-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}' />
</package>
</packages>
There is no need to install the MS Office 2007 Compatibility Pack service pack manually, as Windows Update will do this for you.
