I am having an issue installing this months Microsoft patches.
Generally I create a batch file to string all of the patches together
but this patch is not playing nicely. Below is the batch file I use.
Patch KB947742 will not accept any switches and always comes up with
an screen showing valid switches. I need to deploy these patches with
out any user intervention.
Can anyone tell me why this patch is coming up with the error? I have
tried the following switches
/q
/qb
/qb!
/quiet
/passive
and none seem to resolve the issue. The patch KB947748 installs fine.
Windows installer version is 3.01.4000.1832. I have downloaded what
is supposed to be the Windows installer 3.1 redistributable and
installed it but this version does not change. Our base OS is Windows
2000 SP4
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Batch File Below:
@echo off
@ECHO Please be patient as these patches will take a few moments to
install.
@Echo This window will close and your computer will reboot when
complete
@Echo
@ECHO Thank You
@ECHO Customer Support
@Echo off
k:\MSUpdatesEnglish\Sept2008\NDP20SP1-KB947748-x86.exe /passive
k:\MSUpdatesEnglish\Sept2008\NDP1.1sp1-KB947742-X86.exe /qb
k:\MSUpdatesEnglish\Sept2008\IE6.0sp1-KB938464-Windows2000-x86-
FRA.exe /M /forcerestart
Gives a windows with options.
Probably /q /install /norestart
Why does it feel like Microsoft is like 4-5 companies? Too many types of
installers. :-)
