Get rid of Office 2011's First Run Wizard

I made a similar script like this for Office 2008, but Microsoft changed some things in Office 2011 and how it determines if First Run Wizard is run.
It seems like the Office apps looks at three files and certain settings in them, these files are:

~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.autoupdate2.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.error_reporting

The file "com.microsoft.office.plist" must contain:
- The key "14\FirstRun\SetupComplete" with value "1" (-int)

The file "com.microsoft.autoupdate2.plist" must contain:
- The key "HowToCheck" with value "Manual" (-string) (if you don't want it to check automatically)
- The key "LastUpdate" with value "2001-01-01T00:00:00Z" (-date)

The file "com.microsoft.error_reporting must contain:
- The key "SQMReportsEnabled" with value "False" (-bool)
- The key "ShipAssertEnabled" with value "False" (-bool)

And as an optional thing, in the script below, I added a function that sets the user's name in "com.microsoft.office.plist".

Pardon me for the lack of comments in the script below, but I think you understand it :)

Provided "as is"...

##### NOTES ABOUT FILE PERMISSIONS ######
# Setting rights to 777 as chown does not seem to work as expected in a loginhook
# It seems that Office sets the correct owner on the files when launching an Office-app
# Really no secrets in these files anyway...



# Install this:
# 1. Copy this to /Library/Scripts/loginhook.sh
# 2. Set owner to root and chmod 755
