Installing Norton Ghost Updates Manually

[blinkdt]

I'm making some progress on this issue but could use some help. I recently noticed that by installing and running Symantec's "luau.exe"--the administrative distribution tool--anyone can download updates to both versions of Ghost (8 & 9) as stand-alone files *slaps forehead* and I guess that just makes good sense, despite Symantec's official line.

Ghost 9 is easy enough. After running the operation (run it TWICE), a .zip file is found containing "NortonGhostAll902en.exe." This can be installed using the '/s -q' switch sequence.

Ghost 8 is another matter. Two files appear, ng2003b789_en.x86 and ng2003b793_en.x86. But how does one install these buggers? My search for install info has proven fruitless.

For the truly lazy, you can download the updates directly from Princeton University's server HERE.

NOTE: oh, dang, I thought I was in the application switches thread. Can a Mod move this post please? Tanks.
