VBScript will not install Security Patches Silently.

Need Help!!!

I am trying to install 7 patches for Office 2000 silently. I want
users to have no interaction these are installing. Below is the
following code.

'On error Resume next

Set Wshshell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.Run "U:\AppLauncher\OfficeSP3\O2kSp3.exe /q /R:N", 1, True
WshShell.Run "U:\AppLauncher\OfficeSP3\olk0901.exe /q /R:N", 1, True
WshShell.Run "U:\AppLauncher\OfficeSP3\office2000-KB822035-client-enu.exe
/q /R:N", 1, True
WshShell.Run "U:\AppLauncher\OfficeSP3\office2000-KB830347-client-enu.exe
/q /R:N", 1, True
WshShell.Run "U:\AppLauncher\OfficeSP3\office2000-KB830349-client-enu.exe
/q /R:N", 1, True
WshShell.Run "U:\AppLauncher\OfficeSP3\office2000-KB824993-client-enu.exe
/q /R:N", 1, True
WshShell.Run "U:\AppLauncher\OfficeSP3\office2000-KB826292-client-enu.exe
/q /R:AS", 1, True

Even through I have used /q switch, the windows install displays and
also the pop up message that the patch has installed? Is there anyway
to keep this message pop ups hidden? Thanks for help!!!!

Hi Kevin,

Create a folder for each patch or update
e.g.
U:\AppLauncher\OfficeSP3\KB830347

Extract the files from the exe by clicking on start\ run and type in
U:\AppLauncher\OfficeSP3\office2000-KB830347-client-enu.exe /c
browse to the folder you created for this patch and extract the files.

Now edit the ohotfix.ini for each extracted patch to:

[OHotfix]
IsNormalUpdate=1
AdminUsesShortFilenames=1
AdminPath=
MessageTitle=Word 2000 Security Patch: KB830347
CopyFilesToRerun=1
ShowSuccessDialog=0
RunSetupWatson=0
RequireAllPatchesNeeded=0
RequireAllProductsAtMinVersion=0
MinProductVersion=
MinMsiVersion=2.0
UpgradeMsi=0
MsiUpgradeURL=http://office.microsoft.com/ProductUpdates/ExtlinkPages/Ohotfix.aspx
OHotfixLogLevel=n
MsiLogLevel=n
OHotfixUILevel=q
MsiUILevel=q
RebootInQuietMode=0
FeatureToCheck=

Do this for each patch or update.

Now change the vb script to run the ohotfix.exe in each folder and i
all runs in the background and no-one will notice anything.

Cheers
