Ok, a while ago, i found a command on this site (i think) that would list all the files in a single directory and then output them to a TXT file...

im setting up a new Unattended install, and need t do the updates, im using the SVCPACK method...

does anyone know wat it is???

i tried searching, but came up with nada

Hi,

Well you could use this command to output it to a txt file:

dir /B C:\LOCATION\OF\KB\FILES\*.EXE > C:\WHERE\TO\OUTPUT\FILE.TXT

Just make sure you dont have any other EXE files in the same folder.

Are you trying to automate the patching of your XP source with the latest hofixes? If you are, you could use the following cmd found at Gadgets and Tech news:
