Applying Updates to SlipStreamed Installation


Recommended Posts

I just installed a slipstreamed version of Office 2003 (including SP3) from a shared drive on a peer-to-peer network. After the installation completed, I natuarlly ran Office Update. It found some small updates. However, the updates were not installed bbecause Office said that the update had to use an administrator option since Office was installed from an administrative location.

Severl other updates downloaded and installed without a problem. The last one had to be downloaded manually and installed.

Why does Office care that it was installed from a network resource? That's why it's slipstreamed -- to speed up rolling out the program to multiple computers. Is there a way to tell Office to forget that it was installed from a network share/administrative install?
