KB831240 HighMat CD Wizard

[BoardBabe]

KB831240 HighMat CD Wizard did not get installed. Any idea why?

Called in a cmd with

start /wait %CDROM%\WINDOWSUPDATE\KB831240.exe /quiet /norestart

The update apears in Windows Update after UA installation is all done.

this is for XP or XP+SP1 ?

maybe work the classic combination :

kb8xxxxx.exe /q /n /z

or maybe the path is incorrect . when you install your uA_XP_CD

after the second boot , your files regullary can be in

%systemdrive%\install\....\WINDOWSUPDATE\...

other works ?

can be more specific ?

It's an InstallShield package, not a Windows hotfix package. It requires a different set of switches

[RyanVM]

Just extract the MSI and use the standard MSI switches.

[BoardBabe]

Sorry to ask a dumb question, but how do i extract this .msi?

[RyanVM]

Running the exe with the /? switch should give you the info you need.

I install this update without problems, I use

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Prise en charge des CDs HighMAT" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%C%\Extension_HighMAT.exe /qn" /f

[BoardBabe]

Can't really find a way to extract the .msi from the .exe with the /?

You must install the HIGHMat CD update like an application

HighMat Download

Place the file in $OEM$\$1\Install and adapt your batchfile which installs application in you unattended setup with the following line

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\highmat\hmtcd.exe /quiet /norestart

(i've renamed the original file to hmtcd.exe so modify it for you installation)

Does the %CDROM% work !!

that's all

[oioldman]

Double clisck on the .exe file

Then open windows explorer

Open your profile\temp and you'll proabbaly see an msi there or at least will be within in a folder

Copy that to a safe location

Then using the standard msi switches to silent away you go

[BoardBabe]

Found the file in %windir%\Downloaded Installations

Ill try with /qn i believe thats the correct msi switches?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

.msi = /QB

just install highmat like an application .. with /quiet /norestart

[BoardBabe]

Sorry, but i'm confused... /QB or /quet /norestart? on the .msi

[oioldman]

/quiet /norestart

Will work with ALL .msi files in XPSP2 as it will use msi V3.
