How should I deploy MS Office patches with RemoteExec?
According to Microsoft rules patching directly installed copies on client workstations is not recommended. So you should: 1- Download the administrative version of the patch and extract the .msp file. 2- Patch the administrative installation(1) with the following command line: msiexec /a %MsiPath% /p %MspPath% SHORTFILENAMES=1 %MsiPath% is the path to the msi file of the administrative installation %MspPath% is the path to the patch (.msp file) 3- Synchronize the administrative installation with all installed copies on client workstations using the Update operation of the Msi Installation action in RemoteExec. The procedure is the same for all Windows Installer packaged applications deployed through an administrative installation. (1) The administrative installation should be created on your server with the following command line: setup /a and specify the target folder.
