Possible Windows Installer Issue

[Guest Aaron Wright]

Hello Everyone,

 

I have an administrative installation point (AIP) of Office XP and

2003 on one of our servers. To patch our client PCs I run the

following on each: msiexec.exe /i \\LocalAIPServer\OfficeXP\pro.msi

REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomu /q. This is a Microsoft recommended

method of updating Office installations.

 

This had worked in the past, but has recently stopped working, and I

don't know why. For example, Word XP. I checked winword.exe on the

AIP, and it has the version 10.0.6829.0. I ran the above command

manually on a client PC, but after it finished the version of

winword.exe on the client PC was still 10.0.6826.0

 

I checked the version of Windows Installer on the computer. It is the

most recent version. msi.dll = 3.1.4000.4039

 

I'm not sure what the problem is. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks for your help!
