i am runing this patch from svcpack.inf at the t-13 minute mark and all installs ok but it asks questions during the install which defeates thepurpose of an unatended install. i am using the normal switches /Q:A /R:N but it still asks questions, would it be better to run it from the runonceex or are there other switches that are required to make it unattended?

this seems to work as long as you have yoiur paths right in RunOnceEx.cmd make sure that you use $1 and not 1$ or no files get copied over to be installed.
dont run your cleanup till after you get everyting installing ok this way you can look around after an install and see what has been copied over and where it is
