How to create .msi for MS critical updates?

[Kevin J]

I want to use the tool to create msi files that contain updates from MS. Then using Group Policy I will deploy.

I have an update in the form of a .cab self-extracting exe file. Is it possible to add the exe/cab then execute to install the update from within the msi using your tool?

Thanks

Unfortunatelly, that is not possible yet. I'll put it on our todo list for a future version.

I found a way to install Windows Updates
I created a package with a few updates and a script.
The script run the updates in unattended mode.

I created a new package. This copy updates and scripts to the windows folder and then add a registry key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce and this key would be the scriptname.cmd

when the machine restart the runonce order execute the script and install the updates. you can force the restart in the last patch.

I would really be interested in seeing a copy of a scrpt that anyone is using to install MS patches . I have approximately 300 laptops i need to be able to update. Thanx in advance.
