I've been reading about installing hotfixes without a reboot on the MS
pages, and I'm wondering if what I want to do is possible.
I want to be able to download all the updates for 98/ME/XP and burn them
to a CD, and then run a batch file that will update a computer without my
intervention.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
I believe that what you want is called an "Unattended Install CD" & yes it
includes updates. You can learn more about it at
<http://unattended.msfn.org/> & they have support forums at
<http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php>. The have a step by step how to
create your own XP unattended installation CD & I have tried it with only
mixed results. I wanted to spend more time developing my own but have been
too busy with other stuff. There is a lot of other good stuff at
<http://msfn.org/>
