As a function of a third party application that I just installed,it required 2 MS applications to be installed that apparently were not. The Office SP2 was one.

I watched MSOffice2007SP2.exe (297,161kb) as it downloaded. However, after the entire installation was complete I checked for the service pack under (Windows7) Programs and Features, sorting the applications by most recent install date. I did not see SP2 but instead see 'MS Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies.'

The next day I uninstalled and reinstalled the application and see the same results (the Interop Assemblies being the same date as the first install).

I tried checking within Word to determine if SP2 is installed but do not find the familiar Help/About...?
