Re: MSP files and GPO



Hello,

When I attempted this, I got the following error,

"This patch package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to
verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."

Service pack 1 for Framework 1.1 is downloaded with a file name of
"NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe. When I extract the files, I get 3 files
1. Microsoft.WindowsInstaller.dll
2. Microsoft.WindowsInstaller.Package.dll
3. PatchExec.exe

If I then extract from PatchExec.exe, I get 1 file
1. Patch.msp

When I double click on the Patch.msp I get the same error as stated above.
Has anyone deployed Framework 1.1 Service pack 1 using group policy yet

Can anyone outline for me the steps that were taken.

Thanks
