MS critical updates installation

[splendid]

I'd like to get information (or instruction) on how to ctreate a batch file to install MS critical updates.

Let's say I downloaded all MS updates in a folder. What options do I have to install all of the updates at once without rebooting the computer?

its been discussed, IMO, best way 2 do it (with sp2 installed) is /integrate for the 5 hotfix updates or whatever that are available & other programs, like framework all have there own switch

look here

Hotfixes for SP2 (Read the full thread)

What about installing updates in a current Windows XP that does not have updates?

[MCT]

huh?

what do u mean? silently installing them? deploying them over a network?

explain yourself man

[Denney]

I think he wants to know how to silently install all updates onto a machine that already has Windows installed. Am I right?

If so, try the command file listed here:

http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/installhotfixes_old.htm

under "Setting up hotfixes.cmd".

I know it says it's for an unattended installation but you can use it anyway.

Oh, and look at the Hotfixes for SP2 thread posted above for a list of current Windows XP hotfixes and how to install them.
