Howto batch install some hotfix?

[tedaz]

I had already downloaded some hotfix by Windows Update Downloader, but howto batch install them?

I found some discuss about "Qchain.exe", but I don't know howto do it.

Does Windows Update Downloader can batch install hotfix?

Thanks.

If you have "Automatic updates" on, they will download and install in one go. It also happen if you visit the Windows Update page.

this is a sample of a batch file i use to install the updates on computers

@echo off
echo Upto date as of 06/02/07
IE7-KB929969-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe /passive /norestart
echo 1 of 63 done
IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe /passive /norestart
echo 2 of 63 done
msxml4-KB927978-enu.exe /passive /norestart
echo 3 of 63 done
msxml6-KB927977-enu-x86.exe /passive /norestart
echo 4 of 63 done
WindowsXP-KB873339-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart
echo 5 of 63 done

its that simple, this will go through and sequentially install all of the hotfixes in the list for you. once thats done you can have the script reboot the computer for you as well.

you can use the following code inside a cmd file and store it in the folder where ur hotfixes resides and simply run it. no matter how many hotfixes are there, everything would get installed.

TITLE Hotfixes Install

CLS

ECHO.

ECHO installing hotfixes

ECHO Please wait...

FOR %%f IN (*.exe) DO "%%f" /passive /norestart

ECHO.

ECHO installation Completed!

ECHO.

pause

EXIT
