Hi cluberti, That true, but ran all patches in a line... The issue am having is to install all patches in one batch file silently. i.e each patch should finish installing before executing the next. Tried Start /Wait and still no joy E.g. ECHO. ECHO Security Update for PowerPoint 2002 (KB905758) ECHO. ECHO Installing Hotfix or Update. Please wait... "\\sharename\x86\1_KB905758.exe" /Q ECHO. ECHO Security Update for Office XP (KB911701) ECHO. ECHO Installing Hotfix or Update. Please wait... "\\sharename\x86\2_KB911701.exe" /Q ECHO. ECHO Security Update for Office XP (KB920816) ECHO. ECHO Installing Hotfix or Update. Please wait... "\\sharename\x86\3_KB920816.exe" /Q ECHO. ECHO Security Update for Access 2002 (KB955440) ECHO. ECHO Installing Hotfix or Update. Please wait... "\\sharename\x86\4_KB955440.exe" /Q ECHO. ECHO Security Update for Office XP (KB921596) ECHO. ECHO Installing Hotfix or Update. Please wait... "\\sharename\x86\5_KB921596.exe" /Q The above will try install all at the same time

Hi, I have been struggling to get an equivalnet to QCHAIN that worked great in Windows XP. Basically, to install multiple Windows updates using a batch file, Microsoft provides a utility called: wusa.exe to install .msu files in a sequence that works similar to QCHAIN. Down side to this is you can not use it to install anything with .exe file extensions. It is purely for .msu files. I have got MS Office XP installed on the Windows 7 clients and need to update the master build PC with the latest MS Office Patches using a batch file, but cannot find anything that can chain these patches to install in a sequence. Has anyone come across this situation and have managed to get a working solution? Please help. Thanks
