Two options are available for including service packs in deployments:
■ Append the Service Pack onto the Deployment. When you append
a service pack, the service pack is applied to the current deployment only.
Multiple service packs may be appended to a deployment. The service pack
file is included in the deployment and the service pack is applied after the
product is deployed.
■ Merge the Service Pack into the Administrative Image MSI File.
With this option, the service pack is merged into the administrative image.
Once merged, a service pack cannot be removed from the administrative
image.
To extract a Microsoft Installer Patch (MSP) file from a service pack
1 Download the service pack from the
Support site.■
■ Review the service pack Readme file for information about patch
usage.
■ Open a Windows command prompt and enter the patch file name
followed by the /a switch. Here is the general command format:
<local_drive:>\<patch_name>.exe /a
Here is an example: ProductSP1.exe /a, where ProductSP1.exe is the
name of the downloaded patch.
NOTE To include a service pack with a deployment, an MSP file must be extracted
from the downloaded service pack executable.
