Applying Patches along with Office 2003 Package
I'm ready with a Office 2003 Package (mst created with the help of MS Resource Kit).
I used WiseScript Editor to create a Install.exe which perform some preinstall tasks and I've chanined the Office 2003 MSI/MST combo with it.
This package works fine and is pilot tested through SMS for mass deployment.
However, now I need to update this package by adding few Office security updates (word, excel, outlook) and Offoce 2003 SP3.
I am not clear as to whether I should chain the patches using WiseScript Editor.
Do I need to keep the individual .msp separate from the main package? Or how can I include it in the main package?
Is it a good idea to run the patches after installation of the main package?
Thanks for your suggestions on best possible methods to achieve this.

I believe you can use the PATCH parameter to apply an MSP file when you install using msiexec -i
