Then its not possible to deploy the Hotfix in WSUS. You have to use a
computerstartupscript in your Active Directory.

First you have to look for the Options of the Hotfix: Start > Run >
Hotfix.exe /? [ENTER]

Hotfix.bat
------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
If exist \\Server\Share\%Computername%.txt goto FINISH

\\Server\Share\Hotfix.exe /Option1 /Option2
set date=%date%
echo %date%
set time=%time%
echo %time%

echo %computername% %date% %time% > \\Server\Share\%COMPUTERNAME%.TXT
goto FINISH

:FINISH
EXIT
------------------------------------------------------

Hi again,

One of the Options is "Full Path to Extract", and if the path altready
exists with a file with the same name, we will prompt to confirm.

I this case i can't execute this script automatically (ex. GPO). How can i
solve this?

One of the options must be /silent or /unattended. Isn't it?

Is it a public Hotfix?

The syntax for the Package Installer (update.exe) is standardized, and well
documented.

Perhaps this KB article will be of some help.

Use only /Q for quiet.
