Yes, I have tested the creation and deployment of a network client install patched to SP1 (I'm actually using it right now).
Let me outline the steps:
Create a Civil 3D admin image using the Network Installation Wizard.
Make sure your NIW has been patched (one DLL to update) for the next step.
Start the NIW and select Modify admin image. Select the MSI of your Civil 3D admin image.
Select the appropriate SP1 patch (in MSP format, that you extracted from the EXE) that matches your install type (domestic or
international, civil design or civil series license).
You can choose create or modify deployment, it doesn't matter (you're going to delete them anyway).
When the NIW is finished, the admin image will be patched to SP1 (any new deployments you create from it will be patched).
You may delete any existing deployments you have (shortcuts and MST files), including the one you just created, as they are corrupt
(that is a bug).
Start the NIW again and select Modify admin image. Select the MSI of your Civil 3D SP1 admin image.
Create a new deployment.
Use the new deployment to install on your client.
Client will be running SP1.
If this doesn't work for you then you need to contact product support so they can figure out where the breakdown is.

apply the standard single-user patch executable to my PC. I am only having this problem with installation of the service pack. The
original network deployment works just fine.
