When you view any 2007 Office system Service Pack 1 update under "Add or Remove Programs" in Control Panel, the title of the update contains garbage characters

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You install 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1 (SP1). Then, you view any 2007 Office system SP1 update under Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. In this scenario, the title of the SP1 update contains garbage characters.

CAUSE

This issue occurs when the 2007 Office Suite is installed by using a language locale that differs from the current language locale of the computer's operating system. Specifically, the SP1 update information is encoded as ANSI text characters that are not displayed correctly when East Asian language support is used.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
