There were actually 2 more, but they are written down at work and came a little later in the install process. I can send those when I get back on Monday. > I could not see any differences - maybe MS changed something. > > > Matt, what did you do when Unattended stopped: ignore or retry? > > If ignore: did you start Windowsupdate and if so: asked Windowsupdate > you to install these patches?
