first things first, i am new to creating batch files

i want to create a batch file to execute three exe files (flash 10, firefox 3.6.3 and ie and have them run silently in the background with no restarting of the computer through the process.

i have gotten ie to run silent but have not managed to get others to do the same.

my code is below

@ echo off

start c:\updates\IE8.exe /quiet /passive /update-no

start c:\updates\firefox.exe

start c:\updates\flash10.exe

i have tried the /s switch with all three but it doesn't seem to work

Three setups at the same time? IMO not a good idea. You should use
start "" /wait ...

I'm not sure, but AFAIK you have to use the following switches:
-ms for Firefox and
/silent for Flash Player
