I'm looking for an easy way to get a list of the installed pathces for an XP machine.

The compter is stand alone and is "validated" for the application installed so I'm looking for a way to get a list without installing extra software.

We are having issues after the vendor's technician upgraded the application. I want to get a list of patches and compare them to the list of patches "required" for the update.

you are after run this.

dir /s /a /o /b c:\windows\$*.* > c:\updates.txt

If it's not, you will have to be more specific.

Edit: to add

Another alternative is to go to Windows Updates, select 'Review your update history' and then select Print All.

Thanks Jacky, that helps.

I was trying to get a list of c:\windows\$hf_mig$ as well

I have created the following batchfile

ListWindowsUpdates.bat
:List Windows updates
@echo off
dir /a /o /b c:\windows\$*.* > c:\%ComputerName%-updates.txt
dir /a /o /b c:\windows\$hf_mig$\*.* >> c:\%ComputerName%-updates.txt

This way I get just the main entries with the KB number and not all the associated files.
