I feel Stupid - WSUS Setup

billybob01

asking this question but i am playing around with installing WSUS on a back end server and the documentation says:

At the command prompt, navigate to the folder containing the WSUS Setup program, and type the following command:

WSUSSetup.exe /b

At the command prompt, navigate to the folder? This is where i am stuck?

Please help

After you download WSUS double click on WSUSSetup.exe and that will start the install wizard. The instructions you have are telling you to point to where the install file is (WSUSSetup.exe) and type the command WSUSSetup.exe /b which also starts the installation wizard though I am not sure what the /b switch does.

If WSUS was downloaded to C:\WSUS, you would open a command propmt and use the CD command to navigate there. So if your command prompt opens up to:

C:\Documents and Settings\billybob01>

Then you have to do:

C:\Documents and Settings\billybob01>cd \

That will get you to the C: prompt like this:

C:\>

Then do this:

C:\>cd WSUS

Now your prompt will look like this:

C:\WSUS>

Then simply type in the command:

C:\WSUS>WSUSSetup.exe /b

Hope that wasn't too much information. Sometimes it's the simple things that get us.

Thanks Guys.

Or,

Drag and drop the WSUSSetup.exe into the CMD window and put a /b on the end of the path.
