[yong2579]

Hey guys, I try to install these 2 hotfixes (n lots of other stuffs) during T-13 using batch files (Install.cmd) by CMDLINES.TXT

** CMDLINES.TXT **

[COMMANDS]
".\Install.cmd"

The following scenario will happen when it's begin to install these hotfixes:

Q817787 - C:\documents not found (got to click ok and won't get installed)
Q839643 - Windows update will say it's not installed although it has

If i try using GUIRUNONCE, everything works perfectly, so this means it's not syntax problem. (I took special care for those needed \")

Can anyone helps? I dun wish to use GUIRUNONCE to install these hotfixes. Thanks!

As it says in the main Hotfix thread (http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=8741&st=0):

Q839643 (8th June 2004)

Vulnerability in DirectPlay Could Allow Denial of Service

Download - 443 KB (Download this update if you plan a full installation of DirectX 9.0b prior to this update)

Download - 435 KB (This is for DirectX on a default Windows XP SP1 installation without DirectX 9.0b)

NOTE: This update may fail to install via svcpack if DirectX 9.0b is also being installed via svcpack. Instead, install this update on first logon to ensure successfull installation.

and

NOT SVCPACK.INF SUPPORTED - Anything shown below must not be processed by svcpack. Instead, these should be installed on first logon to process silent unattended installations of these updates.

Q817787 (Switch: /Q:A /R:N) (6th May 2003)

So you will have to use GuiRunOnce/RunOnceEx.

However, i din use svcpack.inf to install the following components, i use install.cmd via cmdlines.txt at T-13 instead.

Q817787

Q839643

so this means i din violate it's limitation. However if it is as described in your reply aaron, that it must be installed at guirunonce/runonceex, then how come no one had this problem as me although they install their hotfixes at T-13? Is it possible that they din even install these 2 updates? Please assist and thanks dude!

Here is my install.cmd in case you need to see:

Nobody has been able to install those 2 hotfixes at that part of setup, no matter whether its cmdlines or svcpack.

One example as explained by Alanoll in another thread - the problem with the dx9.0b hotfix is because new files from dx9.0b Setup don't get replaced until the system is rebooted (thus hotfixed files get overwritten too), which is why the hotfix installation only works when its done on a seperate reboot.

[Alanoll]

also, most people don't try to bypass the "SVCPACK limitation" but using CMDLINES.TXT, as they recognize it's essentially the same part of setup.

NOT SVCPACK.INF SUPPORTED - Anything shown below must not be processed by svcpack. Instead, these should be installed on first logon to process silent unattended installations of these updates.

Though you read the first sentence, you did miss the second, which would be the reason most people don't try CMDLINES.TXT.

and to clearify, you CAN install the DX9 patch, if you also use that little file Tobe made prior to running it, but AFTER you install DX9.

All right thanks dudes! I guess I better learn to be good by installing those 2 hotfixes in GUIRUNONCE! N thanks aaron for pointing out

the problem with the dx9.0b hotfix is because new files from dx9.0b Setup don't get replaced until the system is rebooted (thus hotfixed files get overwritten too), which is why the hotfix installation only works when its done on a seperate reboot.

I din know that man!
