SUMMARY

This article describes how to use a batch file to silently install multiple GDI+ security updates for Microsoft Office programs to your computer with minimal required restarts.


INTRODUCTION

Administrators may want to install all required the GDI+ security updates in one batch process. Because some of the GDI+ security updates for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1), for Microsoft Windows XP, for Microsoft Office XP, for Microsoft Visio 2002, for Microsoft Office 2003, and other Microsoft products are designed and packaged so that they have different installation properties, you can create and use a batch file to apply many updates at the same time to efficiently install multiple updates.

This article contains two sample batch files that can be easily modified with the correct path information so that multiple security updates can be installed without user intervention and without requiring a restart. The sample batch files that are included in this article are provided as examples only. The sample batch files are not intended to be examples for every possible combination of the GDI+ security updates that an administrator may want to install in one batch process. Each corporate environment will require specific batch files to update the Microsoft products that have been deployed for various desktop configurations. The software configurations that are included in this article cover an array of newer and older products that could be deployed in the corporate workplace today.

Note Batch file 1 is designed to update Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 on computers that are running the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system.

Important The information in this article is intended for IT professionals that are familiar with creating and using batch files. Although the information in this article is valid and provides IT professionals with one method to install multiple GDI+ security updates, it is not the recommended method for installing multiple GDI+ security updates. We recommend that you use the MS04-028 Enterprise Update Scanning Tool to scan computers for the required MS04-028 security updates and to apply any missing updates from a local area network (LAN) share.

For additional information about the MS04-024 Enterprise Update Scanning Tool, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION

Follow these steps to create either batch file 1 or batch file 2:

  1. Download the updates that you require for the Microsoft products that are installed on your computer.
  2. Extract the update .msp files for each update that uses the OHotfix bootstrap utility.
  3. Create a new folder named GDIPlus on the C:\ partition.
  4. Copy all the required files, including the multiple .msp update files, in the GDIPlus folder that you created in step 3.

    Note The required files for batch file 1 are listed in the "Information for sample batch file 1, the GDIPlusWin2k.bat file" section, and the required files for batch file 2 are listed in the "Information for sample batch file 2, the GDIPlusWinXP.bat file" section.
  5. Make sure that you copy the following three files that are used by the OHotfix bootstrap utility in the GDIPlus folder:
    • The OHotfix.exe file
    • The OHotfix.ini file
    • The OHotfixr.dll file
  6. Manually modify the OHotfix.ini file to enable verbose logging and quiet install. See the OHotfix.ini settings that are included in the batch file text later in this article.

    Note OHotfix log files are stored at the following location:

    c:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Local Settings\Temp\OHotfix

  7. Create batch file 1 or batch file 2 by copying and pasting the appropriate script contents that follow these steps.
  8. Confirm that the minimum requirements are met for all installed Microsoft products.
  9. Run the batch file from a command-line or from System Management Software (SMS).
  10. Use the Microsoft Knowledge Base articles that are in the "References" section to confirm that all the Gdiplus.dll and the Mso.dll updates are applied successfully.
