I asked a question earlier and got two quite helpful responses regarding caching of Windows update

I manage about 60 computers (Win98 / XP) on a LAN and would like to keep these up to date using WindowsUpdate. There are approximately 50MB of downloads per machine, and the Internet Connection is too slow (and too expensive) to download 3GB worth of the same files.

Following instructions from previous posts, I have been able to download the windows updates onto the server. I would now like to install the updates onto the client pc using the regular windows update screen, rather than manually executing the 37 or so binaries on each client.

Can I do this? Or if not, is there some other way I can automate the install of those 37 executables?
