Windows Update Catalog - batch install

Having succesfully downloaded your updates from Windows Catalog, you are
faced with a problem: how do I install them all without having to go through
the tree manually?

here's a little how-to:

get into the target folder with your updates. You should see a folder 'WU',
inside which you'll likely encounter another folder named 'Software' and a
mysterious file 'iuhist_catalog.xml'.

this is where you'll start a command line window (Start->Run, enter 'cmd' )
(and likely navigate to your target folder using the 'cd <path>' command.)

there, you'll want to run

dir /b /s *.exe >batch.bat

creating a file called batch.bat which now includes the names and path of
all executables from your downloads.

next, you'll want to open the batch file with notepad and replace every
instance of

..exe with .exe /z /q /u

thus eliminating the need to restart your computer after every update.
Because of the /q and /u switches, now is a great time to get yourself a
deserved mug of coffee, since the install is quiet and unattended. (see

Once done, do it the microsoft way - restart.

Although it seems a bit rough, this scheme should work on
