This topic applies only to Windows platforms. A Microsoft Patch (MSP) file is usually contained in a Service Pack executable that you download from the Support website for your product. To extract the MSP file from the executable, run the patch program from the Windows command prompt using the /e switch. The syntax is as follows:
<local_drive:>\<patch_name>.exe /e <local_drive:>\<patch_name>.msp
Pay particular attention to the location where the files are extracted. For details about using the patch file, review the Readme file for the patch.
