Deploy WUAU22.MSI

[Peter]

I have SUS running on our network and I have to make the
changes manually to the registry. I have also got to
install the WUAU22.MSI client tool if running SP2 or
earlier. I've tried doing WUAU22.MSI /? to see if there
is any options to run in quite mode via the login script
but doesnt look like there is any.

Does anybody know how to install the SUS client via the
login script in quite mode?

Thanks

Peter

Hi

msiexec.exe /i WUAU22.msi /q REBOOT=Suppress

Windows Installer Command Line Options
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/msi/setup/command_line_options.asp

I usually use this to get a unattended install with a progress bar
/qb-

If you have Windows Installer 2.0 installed, you can remove the Cancel button
by adding a !, like this:
/qb-!

A completely silent uninstallation (no UI at all, no progress bar etc.):
/q as well as /qn


To avoid reinstalling the client at every logon, you can test e.g. for the
existence of wuauserv.dll, wuaueng.dll or wuauclt.exe, from a bat/cmd file:

if not exist %SystemRoot%\system32\wuauserv.dll msiexec.exe ...

NB!
This test would only work on Win2k SP2 and below and not WinXP. These
files will already exist on WinXP Gold (no SP), but not in the correct
version to run AU with SUS.

If you have WinXP with no SP installed, you need to e.g. test for the
version number on those files.
