What would be the proper install command line for msiexec.exe?

Problem: Have an SP update ending in .msp. The last time I installed it
I believe I had to use a commandl line.

It would be better if you provided us with the full name of that update.

And are you trying to re-install it or installing it on top of itself?

IF you have a valid ,MSP patch file, AND you think you want to install
it, AND you have msiexec.exe on your system and it is in your path,
try this from a command prompt:

msiexec.exe /p <full path to the .msp>

In the syntax above, the /p is specified to indicate that a patch is
being applied.

A lot of IFs going on there...

Just what is the nature of this patch?

Have been away. Sorry for the late response.

msiexec.exe /update N:\TASKMNG_HotFix1.msp

is the Hot Patch for Word Perfect X3 from Corel.

msiexec.exe /update X:\WPOX3_SP1_EN.msp
msiexec.exe /update X:\Retail Patch\StandAlone\WPOX3_SP2_EN_Retail.msp

are the two that worked.

Initial SP and HP install after a fresh loading of the base program.
