Updating deployed software

Updating deployed software

When an application uses a Windows Installer package, you can apply an update or service pack to a deployed application by following these steps:

1. After you obtain an .msi file or .msp (security update) file containing the update or service pack to be applied, copy the .msi or .msp file and any new installation files to the folder containing the original .msi file. Overwrite any duplicate files as necessary.

2. In the GPMC, press and hold or right-click the GPO you want to use for the deployment, and then tap or click Edit.

3. In the policy editor, access Computer ConfigurationPoliciesSoftware SettingsSoftware Installation or User ConfigurationPoliciesSoftware SettingsSoftware Installation as appropriate for the type of software deployment.

4. Press and hold or right-click the package with which you want to work. On the shortcut menu, tap or click All Tasks, and then tap or click Redeploy Application.

5. When prompted to confirm the action, tap or click Yes. The application is then redeployed to all users and computers as appropriate for the GPO with which you are working.
