This document outlines how to create a custom action specifically for the launch of a MSU file

Steps

To make the msu install work you must have the following:

• The MSU needed to install.
• The Stand-alone msu installer called "Wusa.exe" from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa372856%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Syntax for batch can be found at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934307

Additional information on Custom Actions:  Custom Action - How To Work With Batch Files

Please note:  You must have a /quiet switch for this to install silently.

1. You must then push out the msu, wusa.exe, and batch file to the target machine. 
2. Call the batch file
3. The batch should look something like this:  wusa.exe C:WINDOWSProPatchesInstallexample.msu /quiet
