Deploying Office XP SP3 from Group policy?

[Karsudha]

MS released Office XP SP3 in April.
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/updates/xp/Oxpsp3a.htm

Extracting the "OfficeXpSp3-kb832671-fullfile-enu.exe" gives two "msp"
files.
Is it possible to deploy msp files using group policy?

Is it feasible to repackage the Office XP SP3?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you read the Office Resource Kit or looked at the tools included?

Yes, For mee it seems they have not included any mechanism to deploy the SP3
from
group policy.

I tried using msiexec in the following format but failed for some reason.
msiexec /p mainsp3ff.msp /a \\myserver\sp3.msi

Try this it might work for you. If you figure it out let me know.
