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

Just extract the MSI and use the standard MSI switches.

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

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

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

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

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

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

/quiet /norestart

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