MSS provides a comprehensive set of standards-based, commercial-grade server applications for creating, deploying, and performing advanced management tasks for Internet and intranet communities. Please read this document thoroughly before installing MSS SP1. This document contains important information regarding the content and installation of MSS SP1. This Service Pack includes bug fixes and other information important to successful implementations of Site Server 2.0. Due to the integrated nature of MSS components, it is imperative that you read this file in its entirety before installing the Service Pack.
The root directory of the SP1 installation CD contains the following subdirectories:
Hardware and Software Requirements The Service Pack updates can be installed only on those computers that have one or more MSS version 2.0 products installed. Installing Service Pack 1 Components Installing the Service Pack 1 UpdatesSP1 contains all updates since the initial MSS 2.0 release. When you install the SP1 updates, only the files relevant to the Site Server components currently installed on your computer are applied. For a list of bug fixes in this release, and other related Knowledge Base articles, see the KBRead.htm file in the root directory of the installation CD.

Command Line OperationSP1 supports the following command line arguments:
Concatenation of these arguments is supported. The syntax for these operations are as follows: <cd-rom drive>\<platform path>\update.exe -<switch> e.g., d:\i386\update.exe -m -z -n To view these options at any time, use the "-?" switch. Each program file in MSS has a corresponding symbol file that is used to find the cause of MSS component program faults. To install the symbol files corresponding to the new binaries in SP1, type the following at the command prompt (assuming your CD-ROM drive is D:, your symbol files are located in the C:\Winnt\Symbols directory, and you are installing the files for an I386 machine): xcopy /s /u /d /r /i d:\support\debug\i386 c:\winnt\symbols This command will copy the SP1 .dbg files over the existing versions of these files. The XCOPY command shown will copy only those .dbg files that are already installed (/u switch), and only those with a more recent time-date stamp (/d switch). Log files that you import to the Usage Analyst database will reflect more accurate data after installing SP1. Updated WebPostWeb Publishing Wizard 1.52 is now available for download.
