made my MST file by using the "copy package" option with the Adobe Customization Wizard I then left that package alone, as the original Then I created an AIP using this command I then updated the AIP according to the instructions found here, applying both the 8.1.0 then the 8.1.1 patches Then I copied setup.exe, setup.ini & my MST file into the new, updated AIP, & changed the settings accordingly I now have two directories on the network: one for the original package that came off of the 8.0 CD plus its MST, and another for the updated AIP with its MST. I keep the original because of updating issues I'd experienced with 7.x in the past. I can run setup over the network unattended using a batch file no prob.
