Title: Windows Update Batch File
Post by: Type_r12 on August 02, 2007, 02:16:53 PM

Ok here is what I want to do.

I want to create a batch file that will have a list of windows updates KBxxxxxx file names.  The batch file will scan the computer and see if it has these files, if it has them, it skips to the next one; if it doesn't, it installs the update file which would be in the folder directory and then continues down the list of file names.  This way the computer does not have to go online and install all of the updates and it's faster to install several updates.  I want to keep updating it every time Microsoft comes out with new updates.

Can anyone help me?

do you have Vista or XP. In Vista it updates by its self through windows update.

I would suggest that you download "Autorunpro" from
   ....    http://www.computerhope.com/dutil.htm  (its a zip file)

Make a foder which contains... Aurorunpro.exe, autorun.inf, (include Run1=KBxxxx.exe, Run2=KByyyyyy.exe - editing the inf file) and list of all your window updates in the folder.


Try and let us know if you come across any difficulty.
