Automatic Installation of windows updates

May 9, 2004

If you dont use the automatic windows update feature, and regularly download windows updates manually, you must be having a pile of updates.. The only problem is, when you need to reinstall windows or need to install a clean version on a comp, then you'll need to install those updates one by one, which is literally impossible as it takes a lot of time and effort.

You can automate and speed up such installations by creating a simple batch file.

there are basically 3 types of updates (taking xp as an example...) which follow the following formats:

Type 1 : Qxxxxxx_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe

Type 2 : WindowsXP-KBxxxxxx-x86-ENU.exe

Type 3 : qXXXXXX.exe

Type 4 : WindowsMedia..

Special Cases: MDAC, vbrunsp6, etc

First what you must do is to copy all those updates into a single folder.

Then open notepad, and create a list of all the updates you have one after the other

add

START /WAIT

before the name of each update, and end the update with the following parameters.

for type 1: -n -o -z -q

for type 2: -n -o -z -q

for type 3: /Q:A /R:N

for type 4: /quiet /norestart /o /n

Special cases: For MDAC, use /C:"dahotfix.exe /q /n" /q

and for almost all updates the /q parameter will work

If you are not sure which parameter to use, run the update with the /? argument to get a list of arguments

for eg, an update line may look like this:

START /WAIT Qxxxxxx_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -n -o -z -q

Remember that you need to place the updates in the update file in order, ie, type1 updates followed by type2 and then type 3.

However, if you have been following the updates closely, I recommend arranging them in a chronological order.

If you cant get an update to install automatically, I recommend monitoring the installation, and creating your own autoinstall package using programs like InstallRite (www.epsilonsquared.com)

eg:

START /WAIT Qxxxxxx_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -n -o -z -q
START /WAIT WindowsXP-KBxxxxxx-x86-ENU.exe -n -o -z -q
START /WAIT qXXXXXX.exe /Q:A /R:N

after you are done, save the file as updates.bat ( File -> Save As -> (Type-All files) ) in the folder where all your updates are placed. Just double click on the updates.bat file and all your updates start getting installed at fast speeds, and automatically!

Here's how my updates.bat file looks like ... (as of May 15 2004)

You don't need -u and -q switches both together. Just use -q or -u if you want to see all the pretty dialog boxes.

nice information

I already did mine. But a very simple one that lets me know what update XP is installing. Do you really have to have Start /wait? on mine, it installs one update at a time and then when finishes it move on to the next line. :)

See my batch:

You don't need the START /WAIT command. What you have is fine.

44,286 · May 10, 2004

or we could just download autopatch :)

18,329 · May 10, 2004

Or you could just turn on Automatic Updates... :blink:

1,913 · May 11, 2004

OR, you could skip the whole batch file process, like I did.

all I did was pretty much modify my svcpack.inf file, delete the svcpack.in_ file, put all my updates in a folder inside of i386 called update, and then modify the dosnet.ini file. I think that was all I did. there is a good guide on << spam >> that I used. Its very very good if you follow it to the letter.

Auto Patcher would get my vote its just so much friendlyer

Can anyone give me microsoft's direct server where all the patches are located

:D This is nuts.. he he thanks for so much info..

May 21, 2004

Thanks! I've been following the guides at M?S?F?N for a long while now. They're really great. Once thing is I recommend using "start /wait" at the beginning of each update line, so that all the updates execute in order and wait for the previous one to finish before starting the next. If you don't do this, all the updates will execute at the same time and you might have problems with conflicting patches trying to patch the same file at the same time and also even updates crashing because there are too many processes running.

HEY! you forgot QCHAIN.EXE!!! its imperative to have that run on the last line when chaining multiple hotfixes

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;815062

ive attched the qchain.exe just add it to the last line of the batch file

note: its NOT a virus its the original file

May 31, 2004

code needs a good clean up and yes why arent you using qchain?

for example, filenames are too long, and why all the start and waits when qchain does it all.

June 10, 2004

can we put this all on CD which auto starts, detects what is needed and runs ?

That is already made. It's called the Autopatcher XP. There's a forum under the Neowin Software Branding Forum. Check it out. :)

If I remember correctly QChain functionality has been implemented in the latest hotfixes so it shouldn't be an issue. ;)

Is there a single file you can download that contains all of the Windws Update files you would need for your system? It would be nice if we could just run a single file and it would update the system for you instead of having to go online and do each of them separately.

Thanks, BK

Or you could just turn on Automatic Updates... :blink:

No, they call those Service Packs.

SP2 will be out this summer.

No, they call those Service Packs.
SP2 will be out this summer.

Ok, I feel like a dork.

But my question is if they bundle all of them together between service packs so you don't have to download each one online like you do now.

By the way, will SP2 include every single item in SP1 plus all of the security releases for things like Outlook Express, Windows Media Player, etc. that you can nornally get on Windows Update?

If I was working on a network with say 100 people, I would not want to have to go to each machine and run Windows Update. I'd want to be able to download all of the updates, put them on a single CD and either push them out via SMS or have field techs use that CD on each machine in the group. That is what I'm trying to get at. Thanks.
