How to install downloaded Windows 7 updates?

[raycomp]

I'm running a laptop and 3 PC's on Windows 7 Ultimate. Great operating system. (upgraded from Vista)

I found a program to download Windows 7 updates from MS so that I can update all machines without having to individually use Windows 7 updates and wasting bandwidth. Problem is I can only install the updates one by one after downloading them

Does any one now how to batch install all or selected .msu files?

All help will be appreciated.

Have a read here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;934307

The switches that you'll use for batch executions will be the /quiet and /norestart switches. I'm sure you can create a .bat file with the commands to install all the updates? Or look for a program that queues commands like those...

Why don't you rather use AutoPatcher?

perhaps use WSUS.

Thanks managed to create a file to batch installed the downloaded updates. Now I can download once and update all my Windows 7 systems.

Will do so this evening 13/5/2010. Just finishing off a bit of a tutorial and will then give you all the links.

Why go through all the trouble of duplicating what someone else has already done? AutoPatcher works flawlessly. I have used it for years now to update all my systems without having to re-download.

Checked installed updates in Windows 7 Updater and found 33 updates installed. My program Windows Update Loader has found 38 updates so still need to install 5

Just installed AutoPatcher, used upup.exe with AutoPatcher Updater. AutoPatcher Engine and AutoPatcher for Windows 7 (x86) selected.
Then used autopatcher.exe which only found 21 updates.
