Hello,
I am trying to update Admin Installation Points for individual
Office XP Applications with SP3. I currently have an Admin
Installation Point for each individual Office Application (Word,
Excel, Powerpoint and Access) due to our licensing agreement. We have
no Admin Installation Point for the Office Suite since our users /
departments each get Word and Excel applications and then they must
purchase the license for Powerpoint and / or Access if they need it.
Of course once they buy the 3rd application it makes more sense to
purchase the Office suite, but that something I have no control over.
The problem I am having is that I would like to apply the SP3
updates to each of the separate installation points so that these
applications are the most current versions when deployed via Zenworks.
I have found out that the SP3 update for Office XP will not work when
used with the individual applications.
I have searched high and low for an SP3 update for these
individual applications as well as a method of using the Office XP
update on the individual applications, with no luck so far. I have
considered "Slip-streaming" the update into my install points, but I
have found information referring to errors if reapplying updates later
due to missing or incorrect registry keys, hence I am a little
hesitant to go this route.
So, any suggestions for my dilemma?
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!
