Change application id

[masyanru]

I don't know why, but some macOS devices with office applications in our environment have another IDs in com.microsoft.autoupdate2

Applications =     {
        "/Applications/Microsoft Excel.app" =         {
            "Application ID" = XCEL16;
            LCID = 1033;
        };
        "/Applications/Microsoft OneNote.app" =         {
            "Application ID" = ONMC16;
            LCID = 1033;
        };
        "/Applications/Microsoft Outlook.app" =         {
            "Application ID" = OPIM16;
            LCID = 1033;
        };
        "/Applications/Microsoft PowerPoint.app" =         {
            "Application ID" = PPT316;
            LCID = 1033;
        };
        "/Applications/Microsoft Word.app" =         {
            "Application ID" = MSWD16;
            LCID = 1033;
        };
        "/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app" =         {
            "Application ID" = MSau03;
            LCID = 1033;
        };

Do you see? It's 16, not 15. And psMacUpdatesOFFICE.ps1 doesn't download xml and cat files for this IDs. If I change $MAUID_WORD2016="0409MSWD16", everything is ok. I see in console: VERBOSE: Performing the operation "Copy File" on target "Item: C:\Temp\maucache\0409MSWD16.xml Destination: C:\Temp\maucache\16.13.18052304\0409MSWD16.xml".

Yes. This is a known (bad) side-effect of some early 16.x builds of Office. You'll want to change the local Applications array on the affected devices so that MSWD, XCEL, PPT3, OPIM and ONMC have '15' suffixes instead of '16'.

Thanks, Paul.
