Win.2k SP.4

I have downloaded all the updates/hotfixes since SP.4 and am now looking to automate their installs. I can write a script to do this but don't know how to get round having to click the "Agree" box and the "Do not restart now" box. Is this possible please?

Problem 100% solved!

Thank you but that seems to be for slipstreaming W2k with SP and hotfixes etc. What I'm looking for is a method of automating the hotfix installs without reinstalling the entire OS.

You could do something like this...

• Make a folder named 'Updates' with two subfolders named 'Type-1' and 'Type-2'.
  
• All type-1 updates goes in 'Updates\Type-1\' and all type-2 updates in 'Updates\Type-2\'.
  
• Copy/paste the contents further down into a batchfile and save it in 'Updates\'.
  
• Run the batchfile.
  

@echo off
title Installing Updates . . .
for %%g in (Type-1\*.exe) do (
echo.
echo Processing %%g
echo Please Wait . . .
%%g /q /n /z)
for %%g in (Type-2\*.exe) do (
echo.
echo Processing %%g
echo Please Wait . . .
%%g /q:a /r:n)

Here is a version for WinXP-SP2 users, which defaults to the QFE branch for Type-1 updates :

@echo off
title Installing Updates . . .
for %%g in (Type-1\*.exe) do (
echo.
echo Processing %%g
echo Please Wait . . .
%%g /q /n /z /b:sp2qfe)
for %%g in (Type-2\*.exe) do (
echo.
echo Processing %%g
echo Please Wait . . .
%%g /q:a /r:n)

Edit : Added WinXP-SP2 version of batchfile, as i linked this post to a WinXP user.
