Office XP Admin Install - SP's

Hi,

I currently have an Admin install of Office XP on our
server. We have updated this with Office SP 1, 2, and 3.
I know to update the client machines we need to run the
following command from each workstation.
msiexec /i (Office XP Admin path)\PRO.MSI REINSTALL=ALL
REINSTALLMODE=vomus
I created a logon script to run this and it works fine.
The problem is, it runs the install every time they log
in, even if it has already been installed.
Is there a way to have it check and see if the SP's have
already been installed?
I know if you run the SP executable individually it comes
back and says this SP has already been installed, is
there a way to have the admin install do something
similar?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Scott
 
in the script:

if exist "C:\OfficeSP1_Installed.txt" GOTO Continue
msiexec /i (Office XP Admin path)\PRO.MSI REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus
echo yes >>C:\OfficeSP1_Installed.txt
:Continue

Don't know if this is what you were hoping for, but it does work. I doubt
you'd want the msi to unpack and attempt an install everytime someone logs
in anyway.
