scripting installation

[surferboy]

i was just wondering if there is a way to write a script
that will find the command line paramaters to install a
patch quietly and without restart and then print them to
a file. i already know that you can use the command
line /? to find these value i just wanted to write a
script to do it if possible.

Hi

A lot of updates does not display all the command line switches necessary
to make the update unattended, so you is better off "investigating" and
testing each update yourself...

is there a way then to first test a couple with a vbscript
and then check for an error and then request the paramaters
from the user?
