Interesting. I'm into day 3 of doing the exact same thing. I chose to do my hotfix installs during the GUI install using the CMDLINES.TXT file. However, I'm having trouble w/ some of the switches. According to M$, the availabe switches are listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=262841 I am specifically having trouble w/ the /M and /Z switches. They don't seem to be valid on any of the hotfixes I have. Only /Q works. This causes me to get reboot requests and such during the GUI portion of the install. Anybody got any ideas??? Here is a copy of my cmdlines.txt file: [commands] "Q309495_x86.exe -q -z -u" "msxml4qfe.exe /Q /U /Z" "NDP10_SP_Q321884_En.exe /Q /U /Z" "wm320920_8.exe /Q /U /Z" "hu1002_pro.exe /Q /U /Z" "ieui2KKO.EXE /Q /U /Z" "Q329115_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -q -z -u" "Q327696_WXP.exe -q -z -u" "Q329048_xp.exe -q -z -u" "Q329390_WXP.exe -q -z -u" "Q329834_WXP_SP2_x86.exe -q -z -u" "Q322011_WXP.exe -q -z -u" "Q327979_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -q -z -u" "Q810565_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -q -z -u" "Q810833_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -q -z -u" "MPSetupXP.exe /Q /U /Z" "vbs56nen.exe /Q /U /Z" "js56nen.exe /Q /U /Z" "Q814995_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -q -z -u" "Q814033_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -q -z -u" "Q815485_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -q -z -u" "msjavwu.exe "Q817287_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -q -z -u" "q330994.exe /Q /U /Z" "WindowsMedia8-KB817787-x86-ENU.exe /Q /U /Z" "Q815021_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -q -z -u" "Q811493_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -q -z -u" "q818529.exe /Q /U /Z" "Q331953_WXP_en.exe -q -z -u" "Q329441_WXP_SP2_en.exe -q -z -u" "Q810577_WXP_en.exe -q -z -u" "Q328310_WXP_SP2_en.exe -q -z -u" "WindowsXP-KB820291-x86-ENU.exe -q -z -u" "Q323255_X86_EN.exe -q -z -u" "Q329170_WXP_SP2_EN.exe -q -z -u" "Q811630_WXP_SP2_EN.exe -q -z -u" ".\dx9xpopk.exe /Q /U /Z" "MsnMsgs.msi" Oh, and anybody got input on doing a silent install of a Windows Installer file?
