Eric -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Patrick Sweeney Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 3:02 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: using qchain.exe to install multiple hotfixes I strongly suggest using a variable name other than PATH for the path to the QFEs. BTW -m specifies unattend, in other words display a dialog just don't look for input. I think you want -z -q. I don't know that these values are passed reliably to hotfix.exe. I always expand each hotfix to its own directory named based on the q number and organized by what SP they are slated for inclusion in. I suggest the following: 1. Copy all the fixes into a clean directory. 2. Make a subdirectory for each 3. Run them with the -x switch to expand them 4. Run the respective instances of hotfix.exe with the -z and -q switches. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Mehringer, Doug" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "MSWinNT Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "MSWinNT Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: using qchain.exe to install multiple hotfixes Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2001 15:35:52 -0500 Here is a copy of one that works for you tom compare it to: @echo off setlocal set PATH=D:\Apps\HotFixes\2000 %PATH%\q276471_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATH%\q285156_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATH%\q285851_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATH%\q296185_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATH%\q298012_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATH%\q299553_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATH%\q299796_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATH%\q301625_w2k_sp3_x86_en0815.exe -z -m %PATH%\q302755_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATH%\q300972_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATH%\ALLq293826_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATH%\rbupdate.exe rem %PATH%\q299618.exe %PATH%\qchain.exe Douglass W.

My batch is the following: @echo off setlocal set PATHTOFIXES=C:\localpath %PATHTOFIXES%\q252795_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATHTOFIXES%\q276471_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATHTOFIXES%\q285156_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATHTOFIXES%\q285851_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATHTOFIXES%\q299553_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATHTOFIXES%\q299796_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATHTOFIXES%\q302755_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m %PATHTOFIXES%\qchain.exe I am still getting prompted to reboot after the first patch installs and am getting the windows messages to reboot. It is as if the -m switch is not being read. What is going on? Thanks in advance.
