A week or 2 ago. They still have the switches listed on the advisory pages.

Yeah if I use the /Q /M /Z switches, it will run, which can be seen in task manager. It will run for a bit, then quit. I use the qfecheck utility, and it doesn't list it, even after a reboot. But they will execute fine if I manually go through the point and click interface. It doesn't make any sense to me.

All the hotfixes listed in my first post are square icons with a white middle. I used both /Q /M /Z and /Q /U /Z but neither would work.

Actually I am using windows update to check to make sure the updates are installed. I did use those switches for the hotfixes as well, and I know they are the right ones, because of the hotfix ID in the filename. I just found out that they are creating log files in C:\Windows that looks like it is unable to access a file from the extract process for some reason. I tried to download one hotfix, but it still does not seem to want to install. I will try to redownload the others, and let you know what happens. Also I did reboot, and qfecheck does not report these hotfixes installed. EDIT Ok, when i install 821253 through user interaction, it installed successfully. I then verified with qfecheck, and it saw it as well. Does anyone know any reason why it would not want to install with /Q /M /Z or /Q /U Z? I tried both.... Thanks for all your help so far.

Hi, I was wondering if any of you are able to get the following hotfixes installed, and what options did you use? WindowsXP-KB821253-x86-ENU.exe Q810565_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe WindowsXP-KB823980-x86-ENU.exe WindowsXP-KB823559-x86-ENU.exe WindowsXP-KB820291-x86-ENU.exe WindowsXP-KB817778-x86-ENU.exe Q814995_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe Q327979_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe WindowsXP-KB282010-x86-ENU.exe They will not install with the options that they are supposed to use, and when I try to test install them on the command line, it will act like its starting, take up cpu for a few seconds then die without any prompting whatsoever. Is there some other set of options I should be using with these Hotfixes? BTW, a ton of hotfixes do install correctly, the ones above are the only ones not installing. Thanks for any help you can give me.
