Restart and Continue Help

[am632]

Hi, I dont kno where to start with this code but basically i have a script that installs windows updates, but after certain updates i would like the computer to restart and continue where it left off. Here is an example of what I think the code should look like.

RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows Media Player\KB968816_WM9","DisplayName")
if @error > 0 Then
Run("high-pri1\Security Update for Windows Media Format Runtime 9, 9.5 & 11 for Windows XP SP 3 (KB968816)\X86-en-windowsxp-windowsmedia-kb968816.exe /q /norestart")
SplashTextOn("High Priority Updates", "Installing High Priority Update 5 of 14", "500", "100", "-1", "-1", 32, "Courier New", "12", "400")
ProcessWaitClose("X86-en-windowsxp-windowsmedia-kb968816.exe")
Else
sleep(0)
EndIf

;Would LIke to Restart here and continue from this point!

RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows Media Player\KB973540_WM9","DisplayName")
if @error > 0 Then
Run("high-pri1\Security Update for Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB973540)\X86-en-windowsxp-windowsmedia-kb973540.exe /q /norestart")
SplashTextOn("High Priority Updates", "Installing High Priority Update 6 of 14", "500", "100", "-1", "-1", 32, "Courier New", "12", "400")
ProcessWaitClose("X86-en-windowsxp-windowsmedia-kb973540.exe")
Else
sleep(0)
EndIf

EDIT: I looked at the shutdown/restart command but not sure about the continue part, also tried searching but not found anything!

At the start of your script, make/read a custom registry entry that writes the last Hotfix/Update installed. As Hotfixes are installed, add them to your custom registry entry. Before a reboot, write the last Hotfix/Update to be installed, as well as adding your script to the Startup or Run Once registry entry. When all the updates have completed, remove your script from the Startup or Run Once registry entry
