An Alternative Hotfix Guide


Recommended Posts


Numinous >> so after SP1a + rollup you must install :

Hotfixes 1

  • KB823182
  • KB824105
  • KB824141
  • KB825119
  • KB828035

Hotfixes 2

  • js56nen.exe
  • Q330994
  • Q828750.
  • Q823718 (with /C:"dahotfix /q /n" /Q)

But what is 824105 ? is for SP1 and not SP1a ? Is there another "SP1 specific" hotfix we need to include ?

This does seem to be the best method, it tests out faster than the others and will be great for updates! The only problem I have is that backups are made with your exact syntax (copy and paste) and entries show in add\remove programs for the type 2 hotfixes?? Anyone else see this?

heres a list of available swtches techtype

/u: Use Unattended mode.

/f: Force other programs to quit when the computer shuts down.

/n: Do not back up files for removal.

/o: Overwrite OEM files without prompting.

/z: Do not restart when the installation is complete.

/q: Use Quiet mode (no user interaction).

/l: List the installed hotfixes.

/x: Extract the files without running Setup.

theres no reason why it shouldnt work :/

edit :: i respect you gosh.. please ..end of argument

Yep, I printed out that list too as I investigated the problem. Here is my code taken from yours, changed the folder name slightly:

for %%i in (%systemdrive%\install\Hotfix1\*.exe) do start /wait %%i /u /z /o /q

for %%i in (%systemdrive%\install\Hotfix2\*.exe) do start /wait %%i /Q:A /R:N

ECHO Installing Q823718 Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Q823718.exe /C:"dahotfix /q /n" /Q

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\qchain.exe

It's a stumper alright, but your method is the best!!! When I'm done installing there are no Windows Updates needed, and it's very fast when not being tested in a virtual machine. The little cleanup program cleans the registry, log files and backup files.

Guys! Please resolve your issues with Pms or email. If nessary inform a Mod and report the thread. Open argument is unnessary and will not be tolerated.

Unfortunately this thread sontains some good material...only to be ruined my flame wars.
