    This is straight from KB832483:
    Installation Information

    This update supports the following Setup switches:

    /? Displays the list of installation switches.

    /Q Uses Quiet mode.

    /T:<full path> Specifies the temporary working folder.

    /C Extracts files only to the folder when it is used
    with /T.

    /C:<Cmd> Overrides the Install command that author defines.

    /N Does not restart the dialog box.

    Deployment Information

    For example, the following command-line command installs the security update
    without any user intervention and suppresses a restart:

    <LAN>_Q832483_MDAC_X86.EXE /C:"dahotfix.exe /q /n" /q:a

    English, for example, <LAN> is ENU.

    The /q switch that is specified for Dahotfix.exe is for a silent install.
    The /n switch suppresses the restart. The trailing /q:a switch is to also
    suppress the end-user license agreement (EULA) pop-up window.

    Restart Requirement

    You must restart your computer after you apply this security update.

    Removal Information

    This security update cannot be removed after it has been installed.

    Datacenter servers along with XPP workstations. SMS (2003) is new to me and
    we are evaluating it. I cannot get MDAC 2.8 GOLD (832483) to install I think
    its because of the syntax. Same for MSXML 4.0 SP1, MSXML 3.0 SP3 and SQL
    815495.

    much if someone could tell me what syntax to use with each one for a silent
    install with no user interaction. I have found the command line references
    for everything else but not for these.
