    the previous version with the new dll for abodi doesnt have the vlmcd.exe.

    That version had no AV detection

    I can remove those "deprecated files.7z" forever in next release,
    or change ext to 7z66ff so No AV will know what is those files
    test and tell me, so I will able to keep them without getting AV warnings.

    Hi

    There has been quite a lot improvements to the tool which is a plus. However, I'm trying to figure out how to add the check for new builds of office when launching the tool. I have the original one and this option seems to have been removed on the latest version. Any chances to have it added as before?

    "16." might be better.
    Bumped version.

    Working better now. I see that the issue was that you changed the folder name structure which includes a "v16" now. The older folder structure just started with "16." so that was why the script wasn't detecting them.

    OLD
    Code:
    16.0.14701.20226_en-US_x86_Current
    NEW
    Code:
    en-US_Office_Current_x86_v16.0.14701.20226

    What changes are needed to install to Windows 8.1 using OfficeRTool? I was testing in a Win8.1 VM today and kept getting the "You need Windows 10 to continue" popup.

    Thanks for this very nice Office Tool.
    It took me a bit to figure out how to work with it, but now I'm good and have only 4 standalone Office 2021 apps installed and activated exactly as I wanted to.
    Just one thing I've noticed is that Microsoft Edge Chromium suddenly says that it is managed by your organization.
    Is there any way to fix this ?
    Thanks again for this tool.
