Deployment of standalone .msp files

How can I deploy a simple .msp updated that does not require any dependencies?  I tried to use Msiexec /patch name.msp /qn.  I have also used the default install option via managed installs and simply adding the /i /q /n. However I am not seeing it being pushed with success. 

K1000 Version 5.4xxxx

Thank you all for the help thus far.

According to the following link, it's "/update" instead of "/patch": http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa372024%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

It's also possible that the patch you are trying to push needs admin rights to install.  Test with a non-admin user from the command line to find out.  If it does need admin, you would have to switch to a script and use "run as".

  • Msiexec /patchname.msp /qn. Im sorry I stated it wrong the way I was using it. Msiexec /patch name.msp /qn. where patchname= name of patch or update. - ITROCKS 11 years ago
    • Try what jnox said, instead of /patch do /update

      msiexec /update lync.msp /qb-

      the reason i did qb- is so you can see if it kicks off for testing purposes, qn won't allow you to see tha - areiner 11 years ago
