D:\w2ksp4_da.exe -u
that is the command which should be used to install windows servicepack 4. the -u should make it unattended

I am making the script myself because that is what I can find out of. And in the execute program dialog in wise installer 8.1 I can specify where the exe file is.

That is here
D:\w2ksp4_da.exe
then I can put in the command line that should be fired off.

D:\w2ksp4_da.exe -u

with the -u it should install SP4 unattended.....
BUT it keeps coming up with a message that the syntax is wrong, and that I should use this kind of syntax...
It's a massagebox, but it writes the same thing as if you posted something wrong in a cmd promt.

I have tried endles combinations with " " and /u instead and more stange solutions.

Anybody got a clue
 
I think that what you need to do is call the cmd.exe as the executable file, and pass the other filename and switch in as an argument.
In which case the exe file would be something like :
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

the argument would be :
/c D:\w2ksp4_da.exe -u

Give that a go.
 
I found out that I should just put "-U" in the command line....

Took a day to find out :p
