Can't get MDAC to go

[mickah]

I've managed to get all the cirtual updates to work besides the MDAC one, I know you have to hotfixes.cmd file to run later, that also did not work. I also read about putting

Q832483.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a

in the svcpack.inf. Heres my svcpack.inf

[Version]

EXIT

I heard for the MDAC you can try and separate MDAC to have its own cmd to run?

Where it says dahotfix.exe" are we meant to change the name coz it doesn't sound right?

I also can't tell if the directX 9 has install which i think it hasn?t.

Sorry if I?m making a thread where?s there?s already an answer but I?ve had a fair go and I?ve had no success yet.

Cheers

hey for mddac me i tape this :

ECHO.

ECHO Installing MDAC 2.8

start /wait %systemdrive%\Temp\Base\MDAC\MDAC_TYP.EXE /Q:A /c:"dasetup.exe /q /n"

ECHO.

ECHO Ok rebooting...

shutdown.exe -r -t 0

and the setup of mdac was in this directory : E:\$OEM$\$1\Temp\Base

so change your drirectory source file and retype the line try this and it should work and think that mdac must be install before hotfix to be able to install last hotfix which are compatible with your last mdac

seeu

hope that will help u

[mickah]

What did you call the .cmd and where to you save it?

Or did you place this in the hotfixes.cmd, if so is this how it should look.

@echo off 
ECHO.
ECHO Installing Q817787 for Windows Media Player 8
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\Q817787.EXE /Q:A /R:N
ECHO.

start /wait %systemdrive%\Temp\Base\MDAC\MDAC_TYP.EXE /Q:A /c:"dasetup.exe /q /n"
ECHO.

If not could you please show me what you mean

thanks alot

I've gone onto the runonceex.cmd, when I tired to silently install programs I got hit with a error message something about how it can't find prepare.cmd which we weren?t even told to make, then when it gets to adobe 6. It just copy over to the hard drive after I made an .msi using InstallRite, it didn?t install at all. Then when I went to Microsoft update MDAC still wasn't working .

Here is my runonceex.cmd (just copied)

If there?s anything obvious can someone please point it out straight away because I've been trying for hours with no success and installing XP all the time isn?t very fast.

I am working straight from the 8 PDF's.

Cheers

[mickah]

Plus to get MDAC working through run once where meant to have a mdac.cmd and I dont remember anywhere in the PDF telling me to do that

[GreenMachine]

Q832483.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a

Should be:

"Q832483.exe /C:""""dahotfix.exe /q /n"""" /q:a"

or ...

"Q832483.exe /C:"""dahotfix.exe /q /n""" /q:a"

... can't remember which, probably the first, but one of those two.

[edmoncu]

mine installed via svcpack.inf like so:

"Q832483.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a"

here's the entire svcpack.inf i have:

[mickah]

thanks alot, i'll try that tomorrow. Would you have any idea about the run once either??

thanks alot for your help so far

[GreenMachine]

or ...

"Q832483.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a"

Quotes and brackets: they get me all the time ...

[mickah]

thanks alot guys

Q832483.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a"

worked a treat! Now onto the run once :S

[jp2002]

I have entered the following in my winnt.sif file

"Q832483.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a"

however, MDAC does not get installed under W2K SP4. Any suggestions?

[GreenMachine]

Behaviour by design. I believe that is a SVCPACK.INF example. I doubt WINNT.SIF likes the quotes.

[jp2002]

Sorry, my mistake! I ment svcpack.inf. MDAC does not get installed with this line svcpack.inf.

[jp2002]

I have now created a mdac.cmd file in the I386\Update directory and an entry for mdac.cmd in svcpack.inf.

mdac.cmd contains a single entry

Q832483.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a

and I am getting an error message saying that Q832483 is not recognized as an external command. Any idaes? Q832483.exe is also located in the I386\Update.
