To Extract an MSP File from a Service Pack

How to extract MSP files and include them in deployments.

1. Download the service pack from the Account Portal.
2. Review the service pack Readme file for information about patch usage.
3. Open a Windows command prompt and enter the patch file name followed by the /e switch and a target file name. Here is the general command format:

   <local_drive:>\<patch_name>.exe /e <local_drive:>\<patch_name>.msp

   Here is an example: C:\ProductSP1.exe /e ./ProductSP1.msp

   where ProductSP1.exe is the name of the downloaded patch and ProductSP1.msp is the name of the extracted file.

   Using ‘./’ in front of the extraction file name places the extracted file in the same folder as the original executable. The “e” command line switch extracts the MSP file from the executable.
