Unable to add Service Pack 1 to Inventor 2010 deployment

[Anonymous]

When creating a deployment for Inventor Professional 2010 + Mechanical 2010 with network license, on page 'Include Service Pack' (page 8 of 11) I am unable to add SP1 because all selections are grey and there is a text 'This product is up-to-date. No Service Pack is available.' If I install directly from DVD, the SP is found. A bug?

Adding a service pack to a deployment has always been problematic going back to the dark ages. I have always recommended not doing this and just providing the service pack as an additional download in the shared location that can be installed after the application is deployed. In the long run, it ends up being quicker than trying to make the $%&* thing work! It's hit and miss with patching a deployment. In fact, I stopped making deployments after Inventor 10 since they finally allowed MDT to be installed from disc as a network seat.
