Admin Installation Update

[Rodney W. Butler]

I am trying to update my Office 2000 Admin install to SP3.

The Admin install is on the network
f:\Office 2000 Standard Install

The Update is on my hd
c:\adminUpdate

the command line I use is
msiexec /a f:\office 2000 standard install\data1.msi /p
C:\adminupdate\mainsp3ff.msp shortfilenames=1

The result is
Incorrect command line parameters.
Windows Installer V 2.00.2600.1183

I have read Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 304165, in
fact I have it printed out, I cant see what I have done
wrong, could use some help.

C:\adminupdate\mainsp3ff.msp shortfilenames=1

You need to put the name with imbedded spaces in quotes:
msiexec /a "f:\office 2000 standard install\data1.msi" /p C:\adminupdate\mainsp3ff.msp shortfilenames=1
