==============

Many of my customers like to install CRM Outlook client update rollups silently in order to limit end-user interruption. It is possible to silently install Update Rollups. I've listed the necessary steps below:

• Download the CRM update rollup that you'd like to apply from the Microsoft Download Center (ex. CRM2011-Client-KB2547347-ENU-i386.exe)
• Extract the update rollup package (CRM2011-Client-KB2547347-ENU-i386.exe /extract)
• After extracting the package, you'll see a file named CrmUpdateWrapper.exe
• To silently install the update rollup via a command prompt, launch the CrmUpdateWrapper (ex. crmupdatewrapper.exe /q /log "C:\log\log.txt")
  • The above syntax silently installs the update rollup and creates a log file in the specified folder. Additional parameters that can be used are:
    • /? = available parameter options
    • /q = silent install
    • /passive = installer/uninstall runs in passive mode
    • /norestart = even if required, does not restart the computer after installation is completed
    • /forcerestart = even if it is not required, restarts the computer after installation is completed
    • /promptrestart = prompts the user to restart the computer after the installation is completed when a restart is required
    • /uninstall = update is uninstalled
    • /log = user can define the log file local path name

While it is definitely possible to run the above silent install from a command prompt, most customers will choose to use these parameters when pushing out update rollups through deployment software (ex. System Center Configuration Manager).
