| Hello:

| 
| I have found some records in two places:
| 
| 1) In c:\windows\  you can find a log of numerous Q and K's installed BUT 
| NOT all are there.
| 
| 2) In registry ->HKLM -> Software -> Micorosft ->Updates you will find many 
| more but the layout is painful!
| 
| I could write recursive code to extract all the KBs, WM's K's and Q's but I 
| was wondering if there was a more linear repository somewhere.
| 
| My application harvests that type of information including anti-virus 
| definition dates into an XML file which is then remoted to a SQL database 
| where reports can be generated.
| 
| Thansk for any suggestions.
