Installing the lastest Forefront client version without having to reboot

There’s a Ms hotfix for Forefront client which comes done via WSUS. This update requires a reboot. This obviously sucks.

As a cheat I extracted the KB938054 download from Ms Catalog service and then dragged out mp_ambits.msi and replaced the old version of the mp_ambits.msi with it for x86 and x64. I then used SMS to deploy it and it works like a charm.

No reboots!
