How to update faster?

[J Dsouza]

I have downloaded windows vista updates they are standalone updates like
Windows6.0-KB9*****.msu
I want to know how to install these one after another automatically more
than one at a time? Is is possible using cmd.exe?

Yes there is. I used to have a script (a .bat file) that would for each .msu
file in the direcctory given would run wusa.exe with the .msu as an argument
to it. Also had other arguments to to make wusa wait until the msu is
installed before exiting

Unfortunately I lost it but that was how it worked

Hi,

Not always a good idea as often there are interdependencies where one update
must be fully installed in order for the next to be successful. Often times
this may require a reboot to complete.

To do it though, you'd have to write a batch file.

The command to wusa.exe was something like: wusa msufile \quiet \norestart
