---

 Note    To ensure the integrity of your Office installation, Windows Installer may require access to the Office product CD or your network installation location during the installation process.

For more information on these issues, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Overview of the Office XP Service Pack 1.

SP-1 and the Office XP Multilingual User Interface Pack

• Office XP Update: Service Pack 1 (SP-1)

For information on Office XP Service Pack 1 for Multilingual User Interface Pack, see Office XP Service Pack 1 for Multilingual User Interface Pack.

Applying the SP-1 administrative update to an administrative installation point

The administrative update files for Office XP Service Pack 1 (SP-1) are Microsoft Windows Installer patches (MSP files) you apply to your administrative share by using a command line with specific parameters. The following table lists the MSP files included in the SP-1 update.

---

 Note    For best results, the update should be applied from the computer that contains the administrative installation point. Make sure the files on the administrative installation point are not in use when you apply the update. Copy the administrative image to backup installation points after backing up any custom transform, Setup.ini, or other custom files.

---

To apply the Office XP SP-1 update to an administrative installation point

1. Download Oxpsp1a.exeand double-click the file name to extract the MSP files.
2. Connect to the administrative installation point.

   Note that you must have write access to the administrative installation point on the server and the appropriate privileges to carry out the task.

3. On the Start menu, click Run and then type the command line for Windows Installer with the appropriate options for the SP-1 update. Use the following syntax:

   [start] msiexec /p [path\name of update MSP file] 
   /a [path\name of MSI file] 
   SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L* [path\name of log file]
   

You must run the command line separately for each MSP file you apply to the administrative installation point — you cannot reference multiple MSP files on the same command line. The following table describes the command-line options.

Updating client computers from an administrative installation point

After you update your administrative installation point, you must recache and reinstall Office XP on client computers that use the administrative image. Any new client installations from the administrative image will automatically include the updated version of Office XP.

To update an existing client installation from an administrative installation point, run the following command line on the client computer:

start msiexec /i [path to updated .msi file on the 
administrative image] REINSTALL=[list of features] 
REINSTALLMODE=vomus /qb

You can run this command line by creating a logon script, distributing it as a batch file, deploying it using Systems Management Server, or using other software installation tools. The following table describes the command-line options.

For Office XP SP-1, the values for [list of features] are as follows, by product:

Optionally, you can substitute the parameter REINSTALL=ALL to reinstall all Office XP components on the client computer.

---

 Note    If you originally installed Office XP on a client computer from an administrative installation point, you must follow the recache and reinstall procedure described previously to update that client. If you update the client directly by using the end-user patch from the Office Update Web site, the client and administrative images become out-of-sync, which may cause future updates to fail.

As an alternative, you can deploy the Office XP SP-1 update within your organization by distributing the version for client computers from local servers. For more information about this strategy, see Distributing Office 2000 Client Updates to Users.

Applying the SP-1 administrative update under Windows 2000

If the administrative installation point and all client computers are running Microsoft Windows 2000, you can use IntelliMirror® technology to manage the installation of the update.

---

 Note    Be sure to test all software updates in a controlled setting before modifying your administrative installation point or deploying the new version throughout your organization.

---

To deploy a QFE fix or update under Windows 2000

1. Apply the updates (MSP files) to the original Office administrative installation point.

   You must to run the command line separately for each MSP file you apply to the administrative installation point — you cannot reference multiple MSP files on the same command line.

2. Open the Software Installation snap-in within the Group Policy Object (GPO) that you are using to manage the existing Office installation.
3. In the details pane, right-click the Office package, point to All Tasks, and click Redeploy application.

   Note that you can redeploy a package only if it is being managed by Group Policy — that is, only if you originally installed it by using IntelliMirror software installation and maintenance, or if you brought it into a managed state under Windows 2000.

   The next time the Group Policy is applied to the designated users or computers, the updated files are copied to their computers.
