I'm testing applying MS security patches via wpkg to a Windows XP Pro PC. In
Windows' application eventlog I get errors like this:
There were the following errors:
Package name: null
Could not install null.
Exit code returned non-successful value: 61686.
\\myserver\myinstallshare\windowsxp-kb873339-x86-enu.exe /quiet /norestart
The 61686 error is for invalid switches. Do I need to escape the switches or
add them like another parameter? Here's the stanza for the failed above
install:
<package id="kb873339">
name="MS_Windows_KB873339"
revision="1"
reboot="false"
priority="0">
<check type="registry" condition="exists"
path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\KB873339"
/>
<install cmd='\\myserver\myinstallshare\windowsxp-kb873339-x86-enu.exe
/quiet /norestart
' />
<exit code="0" />
</package>
My other question is why is the package name "null"? I tested installs with
7-zip, etc. and they worked fine. Does it have anything to do with
dependencies? I defined the patches in the sequence I had in a cmd file I used
to patch PCs, and each patch had a dependency on the previous patch, but only
used that single previous package as a dependency. For example, the patch
following the above stanza is:
<package id="kb885836">
<depends package-id="kb873339"/>
name="MS_Windows_KB885836"
revision="1"
reboot="false"
priority="0">
<check type="registry" condition="exists"
path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\KB885836"
/>
<install cmd='\\myserver\myinstallshare\windowsxp-kb885836-x86-enu.exe
/quiet /norestart
' />
<exit code="0" />
</package>
Sorry for the long email, and thanks in advance for any help.
