I'm trying to find out what's the best or easiest way to
get security patches in MSI format for distribution to
client PC's. Does anyone have any existing solutions. I
don't understand why Microsoft doesn't make them available
in MSI format.

This won't work.
You can use silent installation in a startup script, just read a few
lines before,

Brian-

There are simple ways to accomplish this.
How to Use a Visual Basic Script to Install the 824146 (MS03-039) or 823980
(MS03-026) Security Patch on Remote Host Computers

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;827227

This script can be used with any security patch.

Nice! Very Nice! Thanks Brian for sharing that little gem of information.

I'm using it right now. I looked through the script and there's no logging
built into it. Oh well! I'll run scan.exe again. :-)

Thanks,
Hector
