Applying SP's to RT

[Luke Bellamy]

Hi,
I have an application using AccessRT 2002 that I distribute.
To apply service packs I have to get them to go to windows update
and install them.
Is there any way I can apply service packs to the original Access RT
installation package (AccessRT.msi, office.cab etc).

I've asked this question before but thought I'd ask once more as I can't
seem to find anything for this in msdn doc. There is doc for full versions
of
office.

Thankyou

Unfortunately, no.

If you mean the A2002 runtime then see

Use at your own risk. Test extensively using another clean system.

You can download and distribute the updates yourself as part of your
install. Then do a chained install to run the SP after the runtime install
has finished. You might need a better installer than PDW/ODE/ADE though.
See whitepaper at web site below.

See available updates at:

If you use the -q command line option for the SP installer, the SP will be
installed silently (no prompts).

Thankyou all for your input.
I think applying the cumulative service pack after RT is installed
but before ending my installation process (Wise) is the best option.
The CAB update procedure would work OK but for future updates
the former option would be best.
