Okay, I managed to get SP1 installed tonight.  I also tested out the
managed software aspect.  Like I had hoped, it DOES do a full re-install
(and upgrade) when you "Redeploy application".  So, as soon as people
turn on the computers in the morning they'll get the newest version of
the FWC.

So, now that I have it installed, anyone find a list of what SP1 fixed
yet?

The gpupdate /force command doesn't redeploy managed software, it just
forces the propagation of policies.  If you create a policy to
distribute the FWC, reboot the client so that it gets installed, then
use the gpupdate command, it won't get re-installed when you reboot
again. 

I was referring to when you edit the group policy, browse to the
"Computer Configuration->Software Settings->Software Installation"
section, then right click on the entry you want to re-install.  In the
right-click menu, there will be an option "All Tasks->Redeploy
application".  This is the option that will force re-installation of
software.

Creating a "new" policy bypasses this technique, but is a lot more work
in the long run.

If I get time tonight, I'll be installing SP1 and testing this out
myself.  I'll let ya know how well it works.  Not that it's important
since you created a new policy, but mostly for future reference.

Good to hear you got it going!

Ok. I have done this as your suggestion. I have removed the old policy
and kept the container. Then added a new policy for install based on new
client and did gpupdate /force . After rebooting the test box, I saw the
message that says applying software installation and then I logged in.
now the problem is if I click the help on client, it wouldn't show me
the help file so I can't see the version
