I figured it out, I had spaces in the path string so I needed to use quotes.

Subject:        [ActiveDir] Updating an Office XP Admin Installation

I want to update the administrative installation on a network share so that
I can redepoly through my GPO the Office XP package with the updated files.

I followed Microsofts recommendation on how to update an admin share.

Msiexec /p [path\name of update MSP file] /a [path\name of MSI File]
SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE

What I was typing is was  the following

Msiexec /p c:\install\oxpsp2a\mainspff.msp /a
\\<servername>\officexp\proplus.msi <\\<servername>\officexp\proplus.msi>
SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE

I get an error right away saying the there are incorrect parameters.  Does
any one have any ideas, has anyone actually done this?
