IE 10 silent install with updates

IE 10 requires a few updates to have already been installed as a pre requisite. It is documented here :

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2818833

I created the package for IE 10 which installs fine silently. The issue I am facing now is that this IE 10 package fails if the pre requisite .msu updates are not installed. 

I created a script in which I installed all these updates one after the other and IE 10 at the end.

But this too does not work as the machine has not been rebooted and IE 10 package does not recognize the .msu to be installed. So after the reboot, the installation works fine and IE 10 requires another reboot before the users can see the change.

 

I want to know if someone has implemented this solution with one reboot only rather than 2 reboots.

 

Cheers,

Piyush

And now for me to blow all your minds!   lol  Okay well maybe not but you'll still like it...

 

So of course anyone deploying where the System account cannot get to the Internet or anyone with Internet restrictions will run into this issue.  Piyush, you were real close!

The trick is to first extract the files from the factory EXE (you need two separate for 32-bit/64-bit installers), for example:   

IE10-Windows6.1-x86-en-us.exe /x:C:\temp\IE10_x86

Now for the magic.  Here is your command to run to truly install IE wihtout the pre-req checks:

dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C:\Temp\IE10_x86\IE-Win7.CAB /quiet /norestart /logpath:C:\Windows\Logs\Microsoft_IE_10.log

My script I'm using in SCCM with decent logging (you'll see my use of SysNative in the script; that's to account for the 32-bit SCCM client running this to install 64-bit apps):

I would advise using WSUS for this type of thing as it managed te clients better.

But if you really wan to do it via a script, check out the link below.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc164360(v=exchg.80).aspx

This is the key which registers weather a reboot is pending or not. You could change this to state no reboot is pending, then the update should install. Do prope testing though, as you dont know what the effects it will have, normally when a reboot is pending - some file renaming actions need to take place etc.

    "Whether" is the choosing to take a raincoat or not. - anonymous_9363 11 years ago
  • Yeah, I have terrible grammar/spelling, my flatmate tells me all the time :P
    Thanks though, I need to learn (: - rileyz 11 years ago
  • Thanks.. but I was looking for some other solution rather than this work around.
    Was thinking if someone has deployed IE 10 in their organization and how. - piyushnasa 10 years ago
    • do you have already an answer? - xxMBxx 10 years ago

  • Thanks joshuaaluke.. I really hope I had got this solution earlier from you.. :(
    We just broke it down in 2 parts and pushed it. - piyushnasa 10 years ago
    • Were the 2 parts KB and IE10? Can you see a possibility now to rollout it at once without restart? KB+IE10+branding? - xxMBxx 10 years ago
      • I just saw this and it looked like it will work, but have not tested it since we had already rolled out.. - piyushnasa 10 years ago
