Dear all

I want to make .bat file to install all the downloaded updates without restarting the computer. It is really frustrating to go to every folder and execute the update.exe file and restarting every time. Can any one tell me the commands to put in .bat file.

Thanks in advance

A Learner

Try this:

@echo off

echo Installing XP Update MS03-039...
WindowsXP-KB824146-x86-ENU.exe -u -z -q

echo Installing XP Update MS04-024...
WindowsXP-KB839645-x86-enu.exe /quiet /norestart

Save as .bat. Just substitute those file names for the ones you're using - along with saving them in the same folder as the .bat.

That's just a couple examples. Works for me. I run all the updates that way. If you can't get it to work, let me know and I can send you a copy of my .bat.
