Ah, I see what you're saying. Right, so I think what it
actually does is the equivalent of an MSI repair, where the patched components
represent a "repair" of the app. So, yes, I think you are correct that only the
patched components are updated. The other thing that happens is that the
updated msi instruction file should end up being copied to and updated on the
client as well (cached under c:\windows\installer) so that any subsequent
repairs work against the patched version.

My understanding of how the patch mechanism works in Windows Installer is that
if it get the redeploy and it detects that it was patched, it should only
execute the code to install the patch, not the whole app over again on the
target machine. From:

Mar-Elia Brian- I haven't seen it work
that way for GP-deployed apps. You need to proactively do a "re-deploy" on the
package to trigger that. Darren From:

you patch it, Windows Installer on the target should detect the patch and only
run the patch code. From:

Kooi Sorry, but redeploying
the app is reinstalling. From:

On Behalf Of Why
would he do that? The MSI is on the share for the GPO either directly or as the
result of an administrative install. The correct procedure is to apply the patch
to the distribution point with msiexec and I believe the /p switch and then Use
the redeploy option by right clicking the app in the gpo it was deployed via.

Devon How can I deploy a Symantec patch
file (SAV_Corporate_Edition_10.0.1.1007_AllWin_EN.msp) that was originally
deployed via GPO through an .msi file? Windows Systems
