Can't get MDAC to go

Ideas? I would suggest you look for the source of the problem, not the workaround. That syntax works fine in SVCPACK.INF. Hundreds of unsuspecting XPCREATORS use it daily ...

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

(Your batch file may be next to SVCPACK.INF, but I do not think that is the working directory for SVCPACK, thus it does not recognize your hotfix as an application.)

I think you are correct; the current directory for the script seems to be C:\WINNT\. The hotfix is located in the Update (svcpack) directory. But where is it?

Blame me, but I am trying to integrate it into W2K

OK, for Windows 2000 maybe not hundreds, but plenty. Works for both. Just like this (cut and pasted from a working and tested copy)

"ENU_Q8~1.EXE /Q:A /R:N /C:""DAHOTFIX.EXE /Q /N"""
