This line runs the script the use of Chr(34) is to add quotes to take out spaces, now I have no way of testing this on any other langauge other then english.

Runs The HTA This returns the path to the user desktop, it might be different for other langauges. geezery, I will change the desktop varible I use to what you posted, thanks.

I could modified the script to install the updates, that is not a problem. I wrote it to intergrate the updates into a UaCD or UaDVD. The advantage my script has over yours tool. It can be ran from anywhere on the computer. It does not require all the updates to be in one folder as it searches all folders on the hard drives looking for the KB's. If I wanted to install the updates then the script could be modified to run against a machine on the network. Here is a script that produces a HTA that will list all installed updates and ones that are not installed, it produces a HTA for you to read. I will in later versions of this script have it download and install the updates silent. This is a SFX that acts like a exe, so the script gets deleted, if you want to read the source code just extract the script to read it. Change the varible for the desktop, to what geezery posted. Rpt_Updates.exe
