DBarnhart out of interest if I installed the Office application with the following setting

<Property Name="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="TRUE" /> 

does this only apply to the installation of Office or does this continue to updates as well?

Rob Fuller FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN is used only during install scenario to close legacy click-to-run applications.  Remember, there was an older version of C2R based on Office 2013.. since deprecated and gone.  This parameter is not relevant to Update scenario.
