I cannot browse to that network location under the dialog box that I am given
to find the PRO11.MSI file, however on every other explorer-capable
window/fileopen dialog box I can see/browse/open/map/unmap/erase/delete you
name it to any network share and or drive, yet that particular dialog box
doesn't show any mapped drives.....
I have shared over to the file, and chosen it that way and it tells me that
THAT particular PRO11.MSI file is not the one it is looking for, so I grab an
unmolested version of the PRO11.MSI file and it still says that THAT is not
the version of the PRO11.MSI file it is looking for......sooooo what version
IS it looking for.....
If I copy the patched PRO11.MSI file locally however I have absolutely no
problems but that doesn't solve the problem because from here on out
windows/office will associate that local PRO11.MSI file with the windows
install, kinda defeating the whole central admin point thing.
