Zxian Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hey everyone,I'm trying to setup an unattended install with a batch file to launch all the hotfixes to date.However, when it comes to KB828035, I've tried to install it using the /U /O /N /Z switches. When I do this, it still shows up in Windows Update. Even when I go to download it and install it from WU, it shows up again. WU tells me that it was installed successfully, but no luck.Any suggestions?EDIT: Ignore this post entirely... I'm using the wrong switches...

Incroyable HULK Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Try this:KB828035.exe /passive /norestart /quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Yeah, thanks Hulk... I realized my problem afterwards... oh well... onwards and upwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 So /U /O /N /Z is not working with Windows XP SP1? If so I will correct my Hotfixes thread...EDIT: Ah ok! the /U is not supported! Switches: KB828035.exe /Q /O /N /Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Bah!!! It's still not working... I've tried the /Q switch, as well as /quiet /norestart /o /n and I still get the same problem.

kenkueh Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 That's weird, i'm using /q /o /n /z for kb828035... and it was installed successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I just checked my WinXP SP1 setup and it was working fine with /Q /O /N /Z... perhaps this problem is coming from elsewere since even Windows Update cannot resolve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 I tried putting the hotfix in question at the very start of the list (to make sure that nothing prior was affecting it) and I tried at the very end of the list. Still no go. (both times with the /Q /O /N /Z switches)I'm gonna try just removing it and letting Windows Update handle it and see if it sticks...

Zxian Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Ok, now I'm just stumped...I tried installing all the rest of the hotfixes, except for KB828035. When I got to Windows Update, I had to install it, and 3 more updates that weren't there when I applied 828035 unattended... Does anyone have any clue as to why this is?P.S. It shows up continuously in WU, despite having installed it from there or UA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntaxError Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 No clue what's causing your problem. All I know is KB828035.exe /Q /O /N /Z installs fine for me using RunOnceEx.cmd, which is odd considering those are not the correct switches according to my screenshot below. Sometimes you have to look up the hotfix in question on microsoft.com. Trial and error I guess. As far as windows update goes, I don't even bother with it. If you take the proper steps, then sp2 and most of the pre-sp2 hotfixes are not needed.All of the hotfixes, as far as I know, will tell you all? of their switches. Open a cmd window in the same folder as the hotfixes, and type the hotfix filename with /?Example: KB828035.exe /?This will cause the hotfix to pop up a window with all of it's switches. I've attached a screenshot of the help window for KB828035. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hey guys,Thanks for the input.I'll give it a shot with RunOnceEx (another thing I'll have to figure out) and see how things go.The part that's confusing me is that it still doesn't install properly when I don't put it in my UA. Is there a chance that another hotfix is messing with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I doubt it is interference from another hotfixes... You have tried many combination (install first, install last, etc.) and still even Windows Update is not able to resolve the situation.Of course, you can try to install as the last step of your RunOnceEx, this is how I solved some issues with 2 hotfixes in Windows 2000 SP4...Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Wow... I just realized something... dunno if it matters...echo Installing KB823353 (16 of 28)start /wait %systemdrive%/Installs/Hotfixes/KB823353.exe /Q:A /R:Necho Installing KB823353 (21 of 28)start /wait %systemdrive%/Installs/Hotfixes/KB823353.exe /QCould this be the root of my problem? I found it when I was converting my hotfixes.cmd file into a RunOnceEx.cmd file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 BAH!!!Now I'm just getting frusterated...I've installed the hotfixes via RunOnceEx (which is much slicker, I must add...) but still no luck... maybe I'll try adding in the hotfixes one by one and see how things go.

Zxian Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 MUAHAHAHHAAHHAHH!!!!!I GOT IT!!! I GOT IT!!!Sorry for that burst of joy... but I figured it out...KB828035 deals with a security flaw in the Messenger service. I had removed this from the install (using nLite) and I'm guessing that WU couldn't reckognize that the patch had been applied or something like that.I redid my install CD, but left the Messenger service in there. Now the blasted hotfix stays installed! w00t!I just disable the Messenger service anyways (I have been for about 2 years, ever since those b****es started sending messenger spam.Thanks for all the help guys!(Goes back and puts in the final updates that were missing...)
