well you don't need the

%PATH:~0,-4%

it's for getting a part of the path

you will just need to add to the for

For %%A In (*.exe) DO %%A /q /x:"c:\Temp")

i hope that helped

But i have about 180 hotfixes and want have KB111111 in folder KB111111, KB222222 in KB222222..

This will extract all hotfixes into one folder...

oh

i didn't see that

For %%A In (*.exe) DO %%A /q /x:"%%A")

then something like that might do the trick ?

Edit: After Thinking that would make a mess

so you better try this one

my mistake

%FileName:~0,7% << this mean we would take the first

7 words of the name

that up to the file name but i think they all share the same length

and i don't know if 7 is right

you test and tell me

For %%A In (*.exe) DO (Set FileName=%%A 
FileName=%FileName:~0,7%
md %FileName%
/q /x:"%FileName%")

I ve test your script and thus all not work...

For %%A In (*.exe) DO (Set FileName=%%A 
                       %%A /q /x:"%FileName:~0,4%")

ok that started to piss me of

:ranting:

so lets do this

For %%A In (*.exe) DO ( Set FileName=%%~nA
call :MDExtract
)

:MDExtract
md %FileName%
/q /x:"%FileName% 
goto :eof

that should work

For %%A In (*.exe) DO ( Set FileName=%%~nA
call :MDExtract
)

:MDExtract
%Filename%.exe /q /x:"%FileName% 
goto :eof

I use this

FOR %%f IN (*.exe) DO ("%%f" -x:"%%~nf" /Q)

Ciao.

Try using dir /b to get the names of the hotfixes

Here is a script I use to get the names of the sub folders of my drivers when integrating them with dism

for /f %i in ('dir /b "c:\Drivers\"') do dism /image:c:\mount\ /add-driver /driver:"c:\Drivers\%i" /recurse

If you're still looking for a robust extraction script then you may want to try the following code. This is a modified version of one of the scripts I rewrote last month when starting work on my update packs again. (The original code also creates an unattended installation script. Let me know if you want a copy.) Everything you should need to know is in the comment header.

Be sure to check the CONSTANT DECLARATIONS section for constants you may need to change, such as update package localization.
