Office 2019 - Office 2016 leftovers

Post by WinCollector »

So I've installed Microsoft Office 2019 and found some Office 2016 leftovers in it.
The first one is in Control Panel. I have Outlook 2019, but the Mail CPL says "Outlook 2016".

The second one is in Devices and Printers. There is a printer named "Send to OneNote 2016", however I cannot find OneNote in my Start Menu, but I still decided to include it.

"Drukarki" is "Printers" in Polish
There are also some events related to this device, so I decided to include the configuration event.

Code: Select all

Device SWD\PRINTENUM\{9BD6EFDB-1CFF-4AFF-BF79-F6425E7EEC02} was configured.

Driver Name: printqueue.inf
Class Guid: {1ed2bbf9-11f0-4084-b21f-ad83a8e6dcdc}
Driver Date: 06/21/2006
Driver Version: 10.0.17763.1
Driver Provider: Microsoft
Driver Section: NO_DRV_LOCAL
Driver Rank: 0x1
Matching Device Id: PRINTENUM\LocalPrintQueue
Outranked Drivers: oem22.inf:{3ee39114-30b4-45a4-a109-19d4a40fcc22}:00FF0002 c_swdevice.inf:SWD\GenericRaw:00FF3001
Device Updated: false
Parent Device: SWD\PRINTENUM\PrintQueues
Something interesting is that the driver dates to 06.21.2006
I am curious if Office 365 has the same stuff as Office 2019.

Looks like they've forgot to change the names of the printer driver for it and the Outlook Control Panel applet. Which doesn't surprise me as Office 2019 is basically Office 2016 after a bunch of Office 365 updates.

Couldn't it be the same deal as with "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" in Windows 8 and newer? They could have kept the old settings dialog for compatibility purposes, while a new one has been introduced to replace it.

Microsoft came out a while back and stated that there wouldn't be a OneNote 2019, thus is why OneNote 2016 is included.
Half-Life is a pretty good game.

I don't think so, the CPL was called "Mail (Microsoft Outlook 2013) (32-bit)" in Office 2013
Also known as Cvolton elsewhere...
