Srivats,

Your command-line switches are for OS updates - IE uses a different set.
For a complete set of applicable command-line switches, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-004.mspx look under
'Security Update Information.'

Alternatively, you could run the exe with a /? and get a series of switches
that you can try, but I find that the MS bulletin info is a better source of
information.

At my location, we don't reboot our PCs (not until the last one runs, and my
reboot mechanism is determined by script, rather than the hotfix) after the
hotfix is run, so I use the following switches for that hotfix:

            /R:N /Q

This tells the PC not to reboot, and to run in quiet mode.

Good luck!
Rob
