KB947742 Install issues

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Everyone

I am having an issue installing this months Microsoft patches.

Generally I create a batch file to string all of the patches together
but this patch is not playing nicely. Below is the batch file I use.

Patch KB947742 will not accept any switches and always comes up with
an screen showing valid switches. I need to deploy these patches with
out any user intervention.

Can anyone tell me why this patch is coming up with the error? I have
tried the following switches
/q
/qb
/qb!
/quiet
/passive
and none seem to resolve the issue. The patch KB947748 installs fine.
Windows installer version is 3.01.4000.1832. I have downloaded what
is supposed to be the Windows installer 3.1 redistributable and
installed it but this version does not change. Our base OS is Windows
2000 SP4

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

@ECHO Please be patient as these patches will take a few moments to
