Hi,Is there a version of qfecheck.exe or replacement command for Windows 7? Thanks,RobUpdate:Aha, I expect "wmic qfe list" now replaces this?Problem is, it doesn't say if the hotfix needs re-installing or not, is there a way to make it say this?Take this example:Install KB956841 onto Windows XP, this will replace some Windows kernel and boot files. Take an image of the PC after sysprepping itDeploy image to new PCAll is ok on the new PC but if you run qfecheck it will list KB956841as being installed but not correctly - it requires reinstalling.I wouldn't know this without qfecheck.exe...wmic appears to list installed updates but not report this status?Perhaps these kinds of updates no longer apply to vista and windows 7 now the requirement for hardware specific files has been removed?

Hi Rob, If you want to verify if the updates are installed correctly, you can check the Windows Update history. In addition, you can also use a command line to return a list of packages including updates and hotfixes installed in Windows. here is the command: dism /online /get-packages I hope this can help you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------John

Additionally you can use the System Update Readiness Tool to check for inconsitencies in the servicing store which will list any errors with patches installed in the system, faults thatmight prevent installation of future hotfixes, security updates or service packs.http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/947821

John, thank you,I had been looking at /get-apppatches which you can't run on an online image for some reason. I had not realised that /get-packages returned information not just on thestandard Windows packages but hotfixes, too - probably because there were none last time I looked :)Andreas, thanks, also. That tool looks very interesting and may well help, I shall give it try...<Flips coin to decide who to mark as answerer...>

Hi Ron, If you have installed some updates and hotfixes, you would be able to get a list once running the command. As the the System Update Readiness Tool, it can verifie the integrity of some system resources, and replace incorrect manifests. It's better to install it on your computer. I hope this would help you.John
