Extracting, Installing, and Removing Hotfixes
Create a directory called \Hotfix to store the self-extracting files that you
download. Create subdirectories for each hotfix. Use these subdirectories to store
the files that are archived within each self-extracting file. Each hotfix contains an
executable file, Hotfix.exe. Because each hotfix executable file has the same name
(Hotfix.exe), it is very important to store each hotfix in a separate subdirectory.
Install hotfixes from the directory where you store the extracted files.

Û To install a hotfix
Change drive letters and/or directories to match your system configuration.
1. Download the hotfix to the \Hotfix directory.
2. At a command prompt, change to the system directory; for example C:
3. Type cd \hotfix to change to the \Hotfix directory.
4. Create a subdirectory for the new hotfix; for example, md me100010. Change
to this directory.
5. Type ..\me100010 to execute the self-extracting file in the parent directory.
The files are extracted to the current directory.
6. Review the Readme.txt file for information about the hotfix, such as special
installation instructions.
7. Type hotfix /i to install the hotfix.
8. Type hotfix /v to verify that the files are correctly installed.
9. Type shutdown 0 /reboot to reboot the server.
