The situation is as follows.
We need to push out a few updates, and they have to be published as separate updates, but installed in a sequence for example - #1-#2.
If we make #2 dependent on #1 than #2 will ONLY show up the next day when Windows Update checks for updates again. But we need all of these installed at the same time.
I tried giving them numerically-alphabetically sortable names: "Package#1" and "Package#2" and but #2 still gets first, before #1.
So far I cannot find anything from Microsoft or anywhere else. It looks like this would need to be some sort of a "hack", but I cannot figure out HOW Windows Update chooses which package to install first.
Anyone can suggest a way to make sure that Windows Update installs Package#1 before Package#2?
Thanks.
