Creating a Batch File - Problem with START command

[SkinnyT]

I'm trying to create a batch file that will install the KB925902 patch. After initially getting the batch file to start, I'm puzzled about how to edit the batch file so that the installation wizard can be automated as opposed to clicking "next" in order to complete the install. I couldn't find much on the switches for the start command either when I searched online. I hope I explained this clearly. Below is an example of what I have created so far (of course I replaced server and share names for security reasons). Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

start /wait "" "\\server name\share name\share name\share name\WindowsXP-KB925902-x86-ENU.exe"

Desktop System Administrator

If I recall this particular patch correctly, you need to provide it command-line parameters to automate it.

I believe -Z -Q -M will do the job on this particular one.

Most MS tools, including hotfixes, display their commandline options when started with /? option.
