Lonkero:
Where did I go wrong in that piece of code?
The first line is just an enhanced version of what cellnet wrote in his code. I just preceeded it with '%COMSPEC% /e:1024 /c START /MIN /WAIT ' to force Kixtart to absolutely wait until the patch install is finished. The location of the patch is in double quotes in case $path contains a pathname with spaces in it. Which part didn't work for you?
