I have scripted Hotfix.vbs to provide more information about each hotfix than the one line '[]: KBnnnnnn - Update' provided by the SystemInfo utility.

When you run Cscript //nolog Hotfix.vbs, it provides the following information about each installed hotfix:

Number: 195Caption:CSName: JSI009Description: Security Update for Windows XP (KB918439)FixComments: UpdateHotFixID: KB918439InstalledBy: JerryInstalledOn: 6/14/2006Name:ServicePackInEffect: SP3Status:

Hotfix.vbs contains:

On Error Resume NextConst wbemFlagReturnImmediately = &h10Const wbemFlagForwardOnly = &h20strComputer = "."Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\" & strComputer & "rootCIMV2")Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_QuickFixEngineering", "WQL", _   wbemFlagReturnImmediately + wbemFlagForwardOnly)num = 0For Each objItem In colItems   num = num + 1   WScript.Echo "Number: " & num    WScript.Echo "Caption: " & objItem.Caption   WScript.Echo "CSName: " & objItem.CSName   WScript.Echo "Description: " & objItem.Description   WScript.Echo "FixComments: " & objItem.FixComments   WScript.Echo "HotFixID: " & objItem.HotFixID   WScript.Echo "InstalledBy: " & objItem.InstalledBy   WScript.Echo "InstalledOn: " & objItem.InstalledOn   WScript.Echo "Name: " & objItem.Name   WScript.Echo "ServicePackInEffect: " & objItem.ServicePackInEffect   WScript.Echo "Status: " & objItem.Status   WScript.Echo " "Next
