Office Tools Installer

the Microsoft Office product. The package will detect which version of Microsoft Office is
installed on the workstation and then install the appropriate package.
For any client wishing to extract the separate installers, the bxlaMMDDYYYY.exe
installer supports a /s/o switch that will copy two files (bxlaupd_32.exe and
bxlaupd_64.exe) into the \blp\Wintrv directory.
