Hello,

I would like to know if anyone knows if it is possible to run the windows
updates downloaded via
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en silently.  I
would like to be able to run it through the command line to auto accept
the license agreement and to not reboot when done.  I realize this might
not be possible, but I thought the windows update webpage probably used
the same files for updating a computer so I thought there might be away
to do what I want via command line and adding switches or something like
that.

Thank you
