Windows Media Player Updates - Can't Avoid Reboot

**pinout** · January 2, 2005

I apply Windows Media Player 6.4 hotfixes silently:

For instance:

wm320920_64.exe /Q:A /R:N

The /R:N switch is supposed to prevent a reboot, but according to Q320920,

"NOTE: If the file or files that are being replaced are in use, the /r:n switch may be ignored."

Any idea how to prevent the reboot? When I apply this patch, the reboot is not avoided. Doesn't make sense to not be able to avoid the reboot.

Yes, I do know there is a version 10 - but what does that have to do with my question? I obviously don't want to use version 10

NO it is not obvious since u didn't say that u dont want to use version 10.

bye and good luck
