Installing/Uninstalling MSP fixes

If you're using... Workshare Professional 8 and above

If you've raised a case with Support that requires a fix and you're using Workshare Professional 8 or higher, we'll send you the fix as an MSP file. This file type is deployed in the same ways as other software, such as Active Directory Group Policies, so you'll be able to roll it out to your organization in the way that's best for you. More information about MSP files can be found on Microsoft's website: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370578(v=vs.85).aspx
