HP BIOS Update (Batch)

Automates HP BIOS updates using HP tools (HpFirmwareUpdRec.exe / HPBIOSUPDREC.exe) and optional install.cmd, with consistent logging and exit handling.

How it works

Detects architecture to call proper binaries (sysnative when needed).
Finds the first subfolder next to the script and treats it as the BIOS package folder.
Cleans previous HpFirmwareUpdRec.log, then runs:
- HpFirmwareUpdRec.exe -s -r -h -b -f"<folder>" if present
- HPBIOSUPDREC.exe -s -b -r -a if present
- install.cmd if present
Writes detailed logs to C:\pnpDrivers\BIOS.log (including result code).

Exit codes (mapped)

3010 → SUCCESS: Reboot required
1602 → CANCEL: Dependency prevents completion
273 → CANCEL: Same BIOS version (no update)
282 → CANCEL: Attempted downgrade (older version)

Requirements

Run as Administrator.
Place HP BIOS package files in a subfolder next to the .cmd/.bat.
Supported tools inside that folder: HpFirmwareUpdRec.exe and/or HPBIOSUPDREC.exe (from HP).
