Windows update errors

[kageyfna]

We are having a problem installing unattended updates KB823980, Q817787, and Q932483. All the other updates install fine but with these we get this error message: "WEupdate cannot retrive information needed for setup from database"

we are using a batch file that is run from the GuiRunOnce portion of the unattended.txt file. heres what they both look like.

1st of all u should actually run the qchain after the hotfixes are installed.

kb817778 is pain in the *** though its supposed to work perfectly with this method u're using..

I'd say u'd save a lot of time if u just use XPCreate By GreenMachine.

it will slipstream these updates for u (except kb817778)...

i think Q932483 is mdac i lost track of it so it needs, switches other than /q /o /z

search the forum with 932483 u will get what u're looking for.

though xpcreate also handles that.. so give it a shot !!

the creation process might seem long but then u'll have a lot faster setup...

good luck!!
