GPOs are why services packs have both .msi and .exe files.  The
C:\I386\update\update.exe is for local installation, and the
c:\I386\update\update.msi is for deployment through GPOs.  Works like a
charm!

Hey, thats sweet, its like having SMS without the price tag, of course
you=20
have to figure out how to make .msi packages which is probably a little=20
complicated, but definitely worth looking into.  If I understand it=20
properly, you could install nearly anything this way.
