Why not just simply grab IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe and add switches /quiet /norestart /update-no, reboot, force WSUS on the computers and voila. The othe customisation can be done via GPO.

Hi Selfman

IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe \quiet \update-no \norestart .......did not work, failed on timeout , which is set for 2hours

when run manually it extracts files, should they not be extracted 1st ?

going to try and report back

In South Africa we have an afrikaans name for an idiot like me. Yup call me 'n doos.

thank you Selfman, it works fine, although only effective after a reboot so will run after hours and force reboot.

yes, reboot is necessary... its good to do over night... less stress

P.S.> no worries... I am trained by my self to handle errors of subjects which reside between the keyboard and the chair ;-)
