A general rule of thumb when using installer v6: Always maintain a safe copy of the media used to update the system.
Personally, I have a FRS shared volume on the domain where all software is put; therefore I can repeat and recall the media at any time later.
\\domain.local\ABBSoftware\6.0.3
\\domain.local\ABBSoftware\6.0.3\800xABaseRU1
\\domain.local\ABBSoftware\6.0.3\800xABaseRU2
\\domain.local\ABBSoftware\6.0.3\800xABaseRU3
\\domain.local\ABBSoftware\6.0.3-1\
\\domain.local\ABBSoftware\6.0.3-2\
...
When preparing a new node with Node Preparation Tool, do as follows:

When preparing a new node with Node Preparation Tool, do as follows:
- Run setup.exe from the most recently released software kit (not the base 6.0.3 media)
- Supply the Additional Media Path (e.g. via UNC share) to the the master repository (\\domain.local\ABBSoftware) where you keep all media.
The installer will traverse the folder(s) and extract the latest version of what you need to prepare the node.
