I have copied SP3 to a cd-r and then went to the pos computer running Store Ops
(no online access) to install SP3. I got an error message Looking for
another CD.
Can SP3 be copied to a system from a cd.

chucky8822,

It might be looking for the original MRMS install disk. Try copying the
Microsoft Retail Management System Store Operations.msi file to the disk if
you only have Store Operations installed on this machine.

If you have HQ, copy the 2 .msi files from the HQ disk too.

Some registers will ask for the original RMS install disk when applying hot
fixes and service packs. I've never figured out exactly what conditions
require it - it seems to happen randomly even on registers that I would
swear were identically configured. Anyway, SP3 is distributed as a single
Executable file - just copy it from the CD to the Local Drive and run the
executable form there - after it's applied, you can delete the executable
package. Yes, you can run the SP3 installer from a CD, you'll just have to
swap disks if you hit a register that wants the Store Ops Install CD...
