Office 2003 patch syntax confusion

[Scaryberry]

Hi. Have deployed Office 2003 from an administrative point. Have applied
the critical patch 828041 to the admin point. The problem is, the syntax
examples given for deploying the patch to the clients is confusing. In
their example,
msiexec /i Admin Path\MSI File REINSTALL=Feature List REINSTALLMODE=vomu

I understand everything except REINSTALL=Feature List.

What should the value for Feature List be? They go on to say "To install
all features, you can use REINSTALL=ALL, or you can install the following
feature:

ProductFiles

Which to me gives two examples of how to reinstall Office 2003 completely,
not just the patch.

Can anyone who has deployed the patch in the scenario above let me know what
they used for the Feature List variable?



Thanks,

S

Just use REINSTALL=ALL.

The way this works is to recache the actual MSI itself (as it changes when
you patch the admin install point), and then it will check the files and
copy down the ones that have changed (or are out of sync) on the client.

Ok, thanks. I guess I got confused. I assumed "ALL" meant all files.
