Install Microsoft Hotfix Updates in Quiet Mode
Posted on Nov 19, 2007 under Windows Tips |Install Microsoft Updates without user interaction screens appearing by using a command line switch.
Use the /quiet switch to install Microsoft Hotfixes in “Quiet Mode”
For example, I downloaded a hotfix from Microsoft and saved it to my Desktop. So I ran the command:
“C:\Documents and Settings\username\
Desktop\WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe” /quiet
NOTE: This works if you have version 5.3.24.3 of update.exe and later. For earlier versions, you can use the /q switch instead.
