816093 Security Update Microsoft Virtual Machine.exe
Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP 5.1 (KB842773).exe
Update for Windows XP HighMAT Support in CD Writing Wizard (KB831240).exe
Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool (KB873374).exe

of if u know how to get the svcpack.inf way working then that would be appriciated.

Thanks in advance

don't know about the others but "Update for Windows XP HighMAT Support in CD Writing Wizard (KB831240).exe" can be extracted so you can find a .msi installer. no problem on using common swtiches (/qb or /qn)

842773 isn't needed for SP2.

GDI+ doesn't have any switches that are working that I'm aware of, but you can put the following registry entry in to tell WindowsUpdate that it's been installed.

;GDI+ Tool
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool]
"GDITool"=dword:00000001

And MS VM, you're on your own. It's icky. Use the Sun VM instead (not that I feel the need to rehash this argument again)

i've just downlaoded gdi+, it's easy to find the switches simply running /? so...
/Q silence mode
/T:"dir of temp mode"
/C:
/C...
so

873374_enu.exe /Q

That doesn't work. It still gives you the prompt.

You said you can extract the thing for an msi... How would one do that?

[rendrag]

after you double click it, look in your temp folder (start -> run -> %TEMP%) and look for a numbered file that ends in '.msi'

[SiMoNsAyS]

or use winrar to open the .exe file
