The only problem I've found with this (which may not be a problem for you!) is that if you don't immediately update all the clients which were installed from this share then the next time someone needs to do an install on demand or a repair it will fail - the software will tell them that it can't find the installation source.
What I'd like is for the installer to realise that it's looking at a patched version and offer to install that patched version. Steve -----Original Message----- From: Salandra, Justin A.

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? Justin A.
