I am trying to silently install KB905474 which can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=afd45b36-3d77-4259-801c-d31a9a90cdcf&displaylang=en but it seems that no switches are working with it.

Anyone got any ideas?

Extract wganotifypackageinner.exe from the package, run it with /? through Command Prompt and it will give you the switches.

Cheers

The switches work, but for some reason windows update still detects it as not installed. I've also tried installing it manually, I got no errors, and when I run windows update again, it would still show it in the list with the updates to be installed.

Well, did you try the simplest things first, like for e.g. a restart?

Of course i did

See if you have the follow registry entry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Genuine Advantage]
"InstallID"="{30F230D0-7940-499e-8A01-748682288985}"

"InstallID"="{30F230D0-7940-499e-8A01-748682288985}"

The entry was not there. I entered it using a batch file and now the update no longer appears in Windows update.

Thanks.

Can you post that batch file, please ?

Here...

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Genuine Advantage" /v InstallID /t REG_SZ /d {30F230D0-7940-499e-8A01-748682288985}

Thanks, -X-.
