Hello ,

I am trying to Install Hotfix through script which looks
like

x = Shell("W:\IE_updates_Feb2004\Q832894 -q -z")

But this gives me error message " Command line sytax
error. Type /? for Help. "

The path name doesnot contain spaces but the option
requires space and I guess thats the problem with the
above said command.
This works fine in XP systems.

Any guess what can be done.

Best Regards
Srivats
 
Srivats,

Your command-line switches are for OS updates - IE uses a different set.
For a complete set of applicable command-line switches, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-004.mspx look under
'Security Update Information.'

Alternatively, you could run the exe with a /? and get a series of switches
that you can try, but I find that the MS bulletin info is a better source of
information.

At my location, we don't reboot our PCs (not until the last one runs, and my
reboot mechanism is determined by script, rather than the hotfix) after the
hotfix is run, so I use the following switches for that hotfix:

/R:N /Q

This tells the PC not to reboot, and to run in quiet mode.

Good luck!
