office compatability update install through group policy John 11.07.2007 22:02:01 We have been trying to apply the office compatability update through group policy so we can easily push it out to all our computers, but when we resart one of the machines it begins to look for the update and quickly stopps and in event viewer we get the error "The assignment of application Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system from policy Default failed. The error was : The system cannot find the file specified." we have all the files extracted from the compatability patch on a network share with the prober permissions but still recive the error.

Can you browse to the share and the file manually? What permissions did you actually assign to the location of the file (both share and ntfs)? cheers, Florian -- Microsoft MVP - Windows Server - Group Policy. eMail: prename [at] frickelsoft [dot] net. blog: http://www.frickelsoft.net/blog.
