Dear all,

I have read from microsft that hotfixes can be apply to a target system by
chaining them in a batch file as follow:

@echo off
setlocal
set PATHTOFIXES=E:\HotFix

%PATHTOFIXES%\Windows2000-KBxxxxxx-x86-xxx.EXE /F /U
%PATHTOFIXES%\Windows2000-KBxxxxxx-x86-xxx.EXE /F /U

Can I add in that batch file the W2kSP4.EXE to be chain before hotfix as
follow:

@echo off
setlocal
set PATHTOFIXES=E:\HotFix
set SP4=E:\SP4

%SP4%\W2kSP4.EXE /N /U
%PATHTOFIXES%\Windows2000-KBxxxxxx-x86-xxx.EXE /F /U
%PATHTOFIXES%\Windows2000-KBxxxxxx-x86-xxx.EXE /F /U

Does this will be able to run all thos update chain in sequence ?

regards
serge
 
You should run qchain.exe after chaining hotfixes together. I think you
should be able to do this with the service pack as well. Qchain.exe is a
utility from MS that checks the file versions of all newly installed files &
only installs the latest ones.
 
Just as a followup... there might be a good reason, but I'm not sure... why
use all the variables if you're declaring them a line ahead?
