How to distribute hotfix using script?

Dear all,

I have posted a question regading distirbuting a hotfix in the Windows
Update discussion newsgroup. Mr. Torgeir Bakken advised me to do that using a
startup script.

The hotfix that I am planning to distribute is the one explaned through
article 810076
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;810076).

Mr. Torgeir idea is great. I am thinking of it as follows:
1) creating WMI script
2) checking if the OS is XP with SP1
3) check if this hot fix is installed then exit. Otherwize install it (using
the Win32_QuickFixEngineering class)

Please need your advice if this script is fine. Also, how to install the
hotfix
using the WMI script?

Regards

.
