Office Service Packs

[dantu]

Hi all

Office service packs (2003, 2007 and 2010) appear to not be running silently. As a result, the installations are getting cancelled by users.

Can this be changed, or how would I change this myself?

Thanks

Dan

Office service packs (2003, 2007 and 2010) appear to not be running silently. As a result, the installations are getting cancelled by users.

Why would somebody cancel the update installation. If someone starts the software, he / she knows, that there might be windows poping up.

But if you want, it can be changed, but you have to edit a cmd-file.
Open .\client\cmd\InstallOfficeUpdate.cmd with an editor.
Change

Code: Select all

echo %1 | %SystemRoot%\System32\find.exe /I "sp" >nul 2>&1
if errorlevel 1 (
  echo %1 | %SystemRoot%\System32\find.exe /I "2687455" >nul 2>&1
  if errorlevel 1 (%1 /quiet /norestart) else (%1 /passive /norestart)
) else (%1 /passive /norestart)

) else (%1 /quiet /norestart)


You have to replace the "/passive" with "/quiet".
Remember to do it every time, wsusou updates itself.

Thanks for that, Aker.

Yes I know updates should not be cancelled, but these are users we're talking about!
