I have been given a Microsoft hotfix that I need to deploy over the entire domain. I want to use GPO as the users do not have admin rights and Office was not deployed from an administrative point. It was deployed randomly on an individual basis. I tried converting the exe into an msi but when I ran the msi it just extracted the MSP file.

Is there an easy was I can deploy the MSP or EXE across various version of Office 2003 via a GPO?

I took a copy of Pro11.msi and tried running MSIexec.exe /a "[outlook.msi path]" /P "[Outlook.exe path]" and the same with the MSP file. Both times I got an error saying "The installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package".

Another solution maybe if it is possible to deploy via WSUS?
