Publish MSN Messenger 7.0 via GP

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi!

I can't install MSN Messenger 7.0 via group policy. I've extracted the MSI
file from the "Install_MSN_Messenger.EXE". But it just won't install on the
target machine.

This has always been a problem with the MSN Messenger
software as far as I can remember. If I recall it correctly the MSI has to
be edited with Orca or something for it to be published correctly.

Does anyone know how to do this?
