The SDBInst program supports a special Solution Database (SDB) (or Support Database) file. Many
vendors provide utilities for creating these files. For example, you??™ll find the instructions for producing
SDB files using a utility from SoftwareBisque at http://www.bisque.com/tom/Createown/SDB/
sdb.asp.
You can use SDBInst to install and uninstall SDB files. Uninstalling an SDB usually results in
removing the patch that you applied to an application or operating system. This utility uses the following
syntax (the first syntax installs a file, while the second uninstalls it):
SDBInst [-q] SDBFilename
SDBInst [-q] [-u SDBFilename] [-g GUID] [-p] [-n ???Name???]
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
-q Forces the utility to rely on quiet mode. The utility doesn??™t display any dialog boxes to the
user.
SDBFilename Specifies the name of the SDB file that you want to install on the system.
-u SDBFilename Specifies that you want to uninstall an SDB patch using a reference to the
original SDB file.
-g GUID Specifies that you want to uninstall an SDB patch using the GUID of the patch as
defined in the registry.
-n ???Name??? Specifies that you want to uninstall an SDB patch using the patch name.
