We are planning on implementing SUS in our network environment soon. As I'm sure we have all dealt with, we have users that don't like to run patches because of reboots and what not. We have gotten it to the point where you can "grey out" the button to "remind me later", but when the updates...

Thank you for your tip! OK OK I'll cut and paste!! :)

Getting the error: Setup cannot continue because files are missing from the installation directory. Please run Setup again and choose Resume Setup. This will download the missing files and continue Setup. We are installing over 5.01 on 2000 machines. If you hit ok the error will go away on...

If you want to still do all of this through Fdisk, you can still use the 98 boot disk to make all your partition changes. Win2000 will recongize these partitions.

Probably the best way to do this is to create a "msi shell" or "wrapper" that will just call the executables. It does require that you install something, so I normally just have the MSI install an empty notepad document to the temp folder. This allows the exe to run like it...

I'm working with Wise Installer to create a msi "shell" for an executable so we can put it out through active directory. I want the program to show up in add/remove, but I don't want the MSI to show up. So I use the following properties: ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT ARPNOREMOVE So it doesn't...
