Installing the update

For more information about software update terminology, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

824684 Description of the standard terminology that is used to describe Microsoft software updates

This security update supports the following setup switches.

	Supported security update installation switches
Switch	Description
/help	Displays the command-line options
	Setup modes
/passive	Unattended Setup mode. No user interaction is required, but the installation status is displayed. If a restart is required at the end of Setup, a dialog box is presented to the user by using a timer warning. This warning says that the computer will restart in 30 seconds.
/quiet	Quiet mode. This is the same as unattended mode, but no status or error messages are displayed.
	Restart options
/norestart	Does not restart the computer when the installation has completed
/forcerestart	Restarts the computer after installation and forces other applications to close when the computer shuts down. Open files are not saved when the applications close.
/warnrestart[:x]	Presents a dialog box to the user together with a timer warning that the computer will restart in x seconds. (The default setting is 30 seconds.) Intended for use with the/quiet switch or the/passive switch.
/promptrestart	Displays a dialog box that prompts the local user to allow for a restart
	Special options
/overwriteoem	Overwrites OEM files without prompting
/nobackup	Does not back up files that are needed for uninstallation
/forceappsclose	Forces other programs to close when the computer shuts down
/log:path	Allows for the redirection of installation log files
/extract[:path]	Extracts files, and the Setup program is not started
/ER	Enables extended error reporting
/verbose	Enables verbose logging. During installation, creates a %Windir%\CabBuild.log. This log details the files that are copied. By using this switch, the installation may run slower.

Note You can combine these switches into one command. For backward compatibility, the security update also supports the setup switches that the earlier version of the Setup program uses.
