I am currently building a new server and have created an
admin install of Office XP on the server. I have
downloaded and would like to slipstream the Office XP SP2,
so that when I install Office to the client computers,
they will have SP2 installed. On the instruction page the
command line instructions indicate that I need to specify
the new msp file and the msi file to be updated. The
problem is that there is no msi file with the same name as
the updating msp file and I can't find a cross reference
anywhere. Is there an easier way to do this or could you
give me a real world command line example that actually
makes sense?

The instructions that I found are at:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/xp/journ/Oxpsp2a.htm#Ox
psp2a_4

and the command line that doesn't make any sense is:
[start] msiexec /p [path\name of update MSP file]
/a [path\name of MSI file]
SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L*v [path\name of log file]

Thank you,

It would look something like this, all on one line:
msiexec /a \\ServerName\OfficeShare\data1.msi p/ c:\temp\office_admin.msp
l*v c:\temp\install_log.txt SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb-
