Ok I posted the files at
http://www.billypumphrey.com/downloads/
You can get them there. The script is on microsofts site some where,
maybe
search for RunUpdates.cmd
I will tak you from scratch and show you how to use these files. You can
of
course put them how you want but with me explaining how to use these
files
that should help you understand the basics of how it works.
engineWindowsUpdate.cmd
- originallany call RunUpdates.cmd
- You do not have to change this file
- I have changed something. There is a check for files in
C:\Local\Sysinfo\..... This check is from the older BDD, I don't
remember
how this check got in there or how I made up this file. I just made it
so
that this check is bypassed and doesn't have to worry about these files.
- Use of this file is commented in the file itself. Here is the syntax:
engineWindowsUpdates.cmd "folderpath" "switches" "logfile" ["ostype"]
["splevel"]
- this file is called via the runXPSP2Updates.cmd file. Running this
file
by itsself does nothing
runXPSP2Updates.cmd
- this is the file that you run
- example command line:
engineWindowsUpdates.cmd \\Server\Updatefilelocation "/q" "C:\Log.log"
Call the file, put the location of the update folder (remember the
specified
command (/q in this case) will be ran on all updates in the update
folder.
Specify a log file.
So if the folder \\Server\Updatefilelocation contains the following
files:
11/22/2005 10:26 AM 1,012,064 Windows-KB890830-V1.10-ENU.exe
01/12/2006 10:13 AM 1,140,064 Windows-KB890830-V1.12-ENU.exe
05/02/2006 04:40 PM 1,813,920 Windows-KB890830-V1.15.exe
02/08/2007 02:30 PM 4,964,776 Windows-KB890830-V1.24.exe
09/14/2005 01:55 PM 851,808 Windows-KB890830-V1.8-ENU.exe
02/08/2007 02:30 PM 555,072 WindowsXP-KB923789-x86-ENU.exe
Then all of those files will be ran like this:
Windows-KB890830-V1.10-ENU.exe /q
This means that only updates that use the /q switch should be in here.
For the files that use the /quiet switch, create a new line in the batch
file of runXPSP2updates.cmd to run the /quiet switch. Like so:
engineWindowsUpdates.cmd \\Server\Updatefilelocation "/quiet"
"C:\Log.log"
In my folder for the quiet switch, I have these updates in there

This means that all of these updates get applied with the command like:
WINDOWSMEDIA-KB911564-X86-ENU.EXE /quiet
-------------------------------------------------------------
For IE 7 and Media Player 11, you can automate these to. You can
automate
the default install of IE7 or use the IE7 too kit to customize it. The
toolkit is easy to use. Let me know if you need helpe with these as
well.

Ok, finally back up and running.
(p.s. As curious as I am about David B's and Ian's suggestions, I'm
much
too
paranoid to download unknown exes or zips - at the risk of missing out
on
some really great tools. Much appreciated, though.)
I'm interested in your suggestion but having trouble parsing the cmd
lines.
It's hard to tell the real line breaks from the ones inserted by my
browser.
If I substitute your path/file names and ignore ECHOs/REMs, I THINK I'm
seeing just these three executable lines:
"<pathToUpdates>\quiet" "/passive /norestart /nobackup"
"<pathToOutLog>"
"<pathToUpdates>\engineWindowsUpdates.cmd"
"<pathToUpdates>\q" "/q" "<pathToOutLog>"
Is this right?
Also, you mentioned attached files but not sure how to see those files.
Can
I download the missing items from microsoft?
:
Are there other ways to "batch patch" these things on an XP
upgrade?
I've
already downloaded all 70-80 updates, I just need a faster way to
apply
them,
i.e., without all the reboots inbetween.
Indeed not all of them work with integrating. I have got this process
down
that works. I used the microsoft script. Try and bear with me as
this
is
with my customization too.
The attached files:
engineWindowsUpdates.zip - This was originally called RunUpdates.cmd
as
you
will see in the file. There are a few comments. You should not edit
this
file.
dir.zip - This is the file structure that I have for the script
runXPSP2Updates.cmd - This file is the one that you edit. There are a
few
lines that are key. I do not remember why I have the rem in there for
the
/quite switch update line, but I think it works. The idea is that you
put
all of the updates in a folder and you run this command on them and it
will
run all of the updates in that folder. The updates in the particular
folder
have to support the switches that you tell it. That is why I have two
different commands, so that the updates will run that have the
different
commands.
