Hi

I thing it would be possible to run

msiexec /p msipatch.msp /n {00000001-0002-0000-0000-624474736554} /qb

where {0000....} is the guid for the office.

You could make a .cmd file on a network drive, that the users can execute.

If yuo are using intellimirror you could make an msi file, with a line in
the runonce key, that executes the command for you.

Regards

Ulrik Franck
