Thanks MowGreen, that works! I'm kicking myself that I didn't check this out
for myself by trying to run the patch with /? because it explains all the
switches that can be used and, wouldn't you know it, /norestart is there.

I've been looking at this on/off for the past week and even got Microsoft
Support involved. Their support group in China is still trying to figure out
what I'm asking.
