1.6.3.5 Installing Multiple Hotfixes
When a large number of hotfixes have been released, especially critical security updates, you might find it
inconvenient to install multiple hotfixes at each computer in the network, especially when a reboot is
required after each installation. You can use Qchain.exe or a batch file to simplify this process and install
several hotfixes at once.
• The Qchain.exe utility configures the computer after you install several hotfixes so that a single reboot
can correctly install all the hotfixes. You can obtain Qchain.exe from the
http://support.microsoft.com/
Web site by searching for Knowledge Base article #Q296861. To use Qchain.exe, first run the .exe file
for each hotfix. Then use the
-z
option to prevent the hotfix from rebooting the computer after
installation.
• You can combine several hotfixes and the Qchain.exe program, if necessary, into a batch file to install
multiple hotfixes in a single operation. Use the
-m
option with each hotfix .exe file to suppress its output,
along with the
-z
option to prevent rebooting. If Qchain.exe is required, include it as the last command
in the batch file.
