SharePoint Language Pack Version and June Cumulatives
I've searched through the related topics and cannot seem to find a definitive answer. I am looking to find out how I can determine the version that is applied to the language packs on my farm. I need to find the version for both the WSS and the MOSS language packs. A secondary issue is trying to determine why my farm version is reporting 12.0.0.6421 (SP2) after having installed WSS June Cumulative updates. I have tried several times to run the June Cumulative updates for MOSS, but each time it reports that it is already installed. I need to validate that all language packs are on SP2 (native is English, installed French, Spanish, and Russian). I also need to get my installation to June Cumulative version.Dan Luciano - Sr. Consultant

Hi,
To determine the language pack version information in a 2007 Office system deployment, you can use the sample Visual Basic for Applications script that is provided in this method. The sample Visual Basic script queries the Windows Installer program to provide the version of the installed products.
You must use a Visual Basic script to determine the language pack version if you deployed the language pack by copying the language pack files into the source image of the program that was being installed.
For example, you must use this method if you copied the language pack files into the Updates folder of the 2007 Microsoft Office Enterprise source image. This is because a language pack that is installed in this manner is not listed separately in the Add or Remove Programs feature in Control Panel.
To determine the version information for the installed language pack by using a Visual Basic script, follow these steps:
1. Start Notepad.
2. Copy and then paste the following sample Visual Basic script into Notepad.
Set oWI = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
For Each prod In oWI.Products
If UCase(Right(prod, 7)) = "0FF1CE}" Then _
sOutput = sOutput & prod & vbTab & _
oWI.ProductInfo(prod, "VersionString") & vbTab & _
oWI.ProductInfo(prod, "ProductName") & vbCrLf
Next
wscript.echo sOutput
3. On the File menu, click Save. Save the script as a text file that is named "Off2007Ver.vbs," and then exit Notepad.
4. Double-click the Off2007Ver.vbs file.
Depending on the number of 2007 Office programs and of language packs that are installed, the sample Visual Basic script may create a long list that is displayed in a dialog box when the script is run. To make it easier to review the version information, we recommend that you use a command-line command to create an output text file that contains the version information.
To create the output text file, follow these steps:
a. Use one of the following procedures:
• In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
• In Windows Vista, click Start , click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
Cscript.exe path1 \Off2007Ver.vbs > path2 \Off2007Ver.txt
Note In this command, path1 and path2 are placeholders for the paths of the folder that contains the Off2007Ver.vbs file and of the folder to which you want to save the Off2007Ver.txt file, respectively.
The language pack version information that is provided by the sample Visual Basic script contains the product code GUID in the first column followed by the product version and by the product name.
The following information is an example of the language pack version information that is provided by the sample Visual Basic script:

I notice that this method doesn't show versions installed as cumulative updates. For example, my central admin correctly reports version 6510 for
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 but this script still reports 6425.
