Re: WindowsXP SP2 Update Errors
Hi Eugene! I think it is because of a typo in command lines, it should work now. I have absolutely no idea how this mistake could happen. I only used msparse.pl and replaced the /? with /passive /n /norestart after checking the command line options of each hotfix package. Sorry for the mistake and thank you for your alertness. cu Niels - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: WindowsXP SP2 Update Errors
Hi Matt! After updating my cvs tree yesterday, I'm getting odd things happening on about half a dozen XP SP2 updates. The update runs, but returns with code 246, Ouch, that does not sound very good to me... I'm in the process of searching for what return value 246 is, but thought I'd ask here and see if anything was changed lately that might cause this (I thought Niels said he had been updating some things...) Well, I only did my usual microsoft-patchday-celebrations: click through the Security Bulletins and update the script files. This time I was late because of business travels outside my country. Sorry for that. Usually, we use Unattended at least once per week - this is my way of testing the script changes I do. But so far there was no need for an installation since my changes so I cannot confirm or disprove your report. It seems to extract the files appropriately, but when it goes to actually run the update it fails. The affected updates are KB921883, KB920683, KB918899, KB920214, KB922616, and KB917422. Wonderful. This is the complete set of the updates I added. 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? cu Niels - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

WindowsXP SP2 Update Errors
After updating my cvs tree yesterday, I'm getting odd things happening on about half a dozen XP SP2 updates. The update runs, but returns with code 246, so unattended doesn't know what to do and pauses waiting for instruction - not terribly useful in an unattended setting :-) I'm in the process of searching for what return value 246 is, but thought I'd ask here and see if anything was changed lately that might cause this (I thought Niels said he had been updating some things...) It seems to extract the files appropriately, but when it goes to actually run the update it fails. The affected updates are KB921883, KB920683, KB918899, KB920214, KB922616, and KB917422.
