Batch Script to Install Downloaded Updates

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

You can learn a little bit of batch scripting from this batch: ex:

You can use the cmd command: "openfiles" to check if you are Administrator.

The Command:

Code:

Powershell -Command "& {dir | Unblock-File}"

Unblocks all the downloaded files from internet or from another computer (it prevents the warning thus the script won't pause)

If you check the script you will learn how to make the script count files (math operations) "set /A totalexe = totalexe + 1"
(To make math works on batch scripts you need enable "setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion")

Take a look, you are free to use or improve the script.

 

It is easier to search for *.msu and move or copy all the patches to a single folder.

If you intend to change the script like you told me then it will change 30% of the script.
Some parts will look like this:

Code:

for /D %%d in (*) do (
    cd %%d
    call :Function
    cd ..
)

Try this code and let me know:
FileName: Update-Recursive.cmd

Spoiler

Code:

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

cls
title Windows 8.1 Offline Updater
color 1F

set BATDIR1=%~dp0
cd /d %BATDIR1%

:Check-Admin
openfiles >nul 2>&1
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 goto :required

This code will go +1 level only:
Root Folder --> SubFolder --> Files ( *.msu or *.exe )

 

@s1ave77
Yep, that will work too and goes further levels.

 

I must go now... (Will return on sunday) (small trip.)
@s1ave77
Can you help integrating the recursive loop in the main script?

It has to work fully like this:
* The PowerShell File Unblock function in each folder
* The *.msu and *.exe file count
* The patches installation (obviously)

Thanks

Another thing:

Code:

for /r "%BATDIR1%" %%d in (.) do (
    cd %%d
Powershell -Command "& {dir | Unblock-File}"
    cd ..
)

I did not try this... but this should execute the unblock files in each directory.
am i correct?

 

You missed "/r" in :Counters section
Anyway thanks.
Updating main post.

 

All the scripts works, thanks guys!

I have a minor minor problem.
On file "Update 2.2 - Recursive Deep.cmd"
When the script goes thru the *.msu or *.exe it echoes the "+" instead of a blank line.

any ideas why the script does that?

PostNote: I am borrowing a laptop.

 

it echoes the .
