How To Silently Install And Uninstall Multiple Presentation Server Hotfixes

Tuesday, 06 June 2006 by Michel Roth

This Citrix support document describes how to silently install and uninstall multiple hotfixes.

The procedure to install multiple hotfixes is as follows:

1. Place all of the hotfixes into one location (for example, C:\hotfix).
2. Create a batch file with the following text:

Msiexec /p C:\hotfix\PSE400R01W2K3009.msp /qn REBOOT="ReallySuppress"
/p - package
/qn - no user interaction
REBOOT="ReallySuppress" � prevents the server from rebooting between hotfixes
PSE400R01W2K3009.msp = your hotfix number

3. Place one line for each hotfix you wish to install.
4. Run the batch file.
5. Reboot the server. (You may be able to incorporate a SHUTDOWN command at the end of the batch file.)

To uninstall multiple hotfixes:

Silently uninstalling a hotfix or using Msiexec.exe to uninstall requires the PatchCode and ProductCode from the hotfix.

The multiple uninstall commands can be placed in a batch file (see above) and executed to remove the hotfixes. The server should be rebooted when the batch file is completed. (You may be able to incorporate a SHUTDOWN command at the end of the batch file.)
