May 9, 200521 yr I Have a 7zipped (full) office 2003 SP1(no patches after) install. When I try to go to office update after the installation, none of the updates install.So basically, is it even possible to install additional updates to an administrative point install w/o remaking the CD?
May 13, 200521 yr With older versions of Office (XP, 2000) I think the only way to patch a local install that was installed via an admin install point, was was to patch the admin install point, and then call MSIEXEC to reinstall office.On 2003 though, you should be able to patch a local install that was installed via admin install point as long as you use the "Full File" patch. I have never tried it though.For more info on patching Office 2003, check this document:Strategies for Updating Office 2003 InstallationsIt has info on how to patch the admin install point as well as the local installation.
