'Convert PowerPoint' Revision History

(MS PowerPoint Conversion and Manipulation Utility)

 RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
  • Windows 7 Compatibility enhancements. (2.00)

2.00 (8/13/2010)

  • Windows 7 compatibility enhancements made.  Default report folders now updated.
  • Working well now with Office 2010
  • Command line improved for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and greater. The manifest file was renamed so that running ConvertPPT.EXE won't bring up the UAC (User Account Control) approval dialog by default.  Command line users must understand that if they have UAC enabled, and they are doing a command line with output to a protected folder, the results will be placed in the %localappdata%\VirtualStore folder. If you think UAC is having an effect on the command line you can quickly change the name of the program in your command line from ConvertPPT.EXE to ConvertPPT.Admin.EXE.  Doing this will enable a prompt to elevate security before the command line is fully executed.
