"When using the unattended method of installing multiple hotfixes with a single reboot, it is possible to get the wrong version of a file installed. If a file is locked or in use, it is placed in the Pending File Rename queue, so it can be installed during a restart. If file X exists in multiple hotfixes, at differing versions, it is possible that the wrong one gets installed. Microsoft has released QChain.exe, which version checks / clears duplicate entries in the Pending File Rename queue, so only the latest file version is installed." http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5..._spl_X86_EN.exe Run it after alle HF's are installed _before_ the restart.

I have not read this thread, and perhaps this is covered xxx times already, but still.... http://www.unattended.msfn.org/xp/gethotfixes.htm Here you list four ways you can find out what hotfixes are out, but you have left out one of the easiest. Download Qfecheak from MS For W2000 For XP For XP 64bit and run it with the "/L" switch on a fully updated windows, and it gives you a list of all installed HF's and checks if they are installed correctly.

Thanks. I forgot the % thing. I can use : if %number_of_processors% == 2 (command1) else (command2)

Hello, can I use the same procedure with w2k as XP ? (unattended install, if thats not clear) If not, what are the differences ? And is there a way I can query the : "HKLM/System/ControlSet001/Control/Session Manager/Enviroment/NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS" register key and have to *.reg files. One if the number of processors is 1, and another if the number is 2 ? And I got one more question: If I change the "Program Files" path in my *.reg file (batch'ed from cmdlines.txt, if that works with 2000), will the programs installed from the same batch file use the new path, or does it need a restart first?
