SubscribeSkip Backup Portion of Microsoft Hotfix Updates
Posted on Nov 19, 2007 under Windows Tips |Skip the part of Microsoft Hotfix installers that backup your files for uninstall with this switch.
Use the /nobackup switch to bypass this part.
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” /nobackup
NOTE: This works if you have version 6.1.22.0 of update.exe or later. For earlier versions, you can use the /n switch instead.
