Unattended Update Release Notes for Windows 2000 and XP32
=========================================================
Unattended Update Files:
BDRVUPD.EXE - Update executable
RELEASE.TXT - This text file
This update package performs post os unattended software updates under
Windows 2000 and XP32.
BDRVUPD.EXE can be invoked via command line options.
It upgrades the drivers silently by copying the files and updating the registry.
BDRVUPD.EXE, the INF file and the driver files must be placed in the same directory.
BDRVUPD.EXE is invoked as follows:
BDRVUPD InfFileName ["HardwareId"]
where:
InfFileName = INF file name
HardwareId = is a fully qualified PCI hardware Id for the
device to update.
E.g. PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1645&SUBSYS_000814E4&REV_15
This parameter is optional. If it is not
specified, all Broadcom network devices in the
INF file are updated.
Examples:
To update all Broadcom network devices in the b57w2k.inf:
BDRVUPD b57w2k.inf
To update PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1645&SUBSYS_000814E4&REV_15 device:
BDRVUPD b57w2k.inf "PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1645&SUBSYS_000814E4&REV_15"
BDRVUPD.EXE writes "Pass" or "Fail" to the "Unattended Update" value at registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Broadcom\b57w2k for Windows 2000.
BDRVUPD.EXE writes "Pass" or "Fail" to the "Unattended Update" value at registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Broadcom\b57xp32 for Windows XP32.
