I've got an administrative install point for Office 2003 Professional on
my network, to which I have mapped drive letter Z:. I have installed a
new copy of Windows XP Professional and installed Office through this
install point. I go to Office Update and find that I need to download
and install Service Pack 3. I want to add this to the install point, so
I download the update, extract it to the desktop, CD to the new
directory, and attempt to integrate it with the following command:
msiexec /a z:\pro11.msi /p mainsp3.msp /log install.log
This fails with an error message, which is contained in the log:
======begin install.log======

The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service
because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch
may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program
to be upgraded exists on your computer an
d that you have the correct upgrade patch.

What's wrong?
