I gave up on the log files and resorted to using PoSH.
$MyTime =(Get-Date).AddMinutes(-10)
$wusa = get-winevent -filterhashtable
@{logname="setup";providername="Microsoft-Windows-WUSA";starttime=$MyTime}
$wusa | fl | out-file c:\install\xenapp\logs\MicrosoftHotfixes.txtThis grabs all the WUSA events in the Setup event log that happened within the last 10 minutes and sends them to a log file that makes the QA people happy.

I have the following in my batch file: wusa c:\install\xenapp\Windows6.1-KB917607-x64.msu /quiet /norestart /log:c:\install\xenapp\logs\MicrosoftHotfixKB917607Log.txt wusa c:\install\xenapp\Windows6.1-KB2444328-v2-x64.msu /quiet /norestart /log:c:\install\xenapp\logs\MicrosoftHotfixKB2444328Log.txt wusa c:\install\xenapp\Windows6.1-KB2465772-x64.msu /quiet /norestart /log:c:\install\xenapp\logs\MicrosoftHotfixKB2465772Log.txt wusa c:\install\xenapp\Windows6.1-KB2551503-x64.msu /quiet /norestart /log:c:\install\xenapp\logs\MicrosoftHotfixKB2551503Log.txt wusa c:\install\xenapp\Windows6.1-KB2571388-x64.msu /quiet /norestart /log:c:\install\xenapp\logs\MicrosoftHotfixKB2571388Log.txt wusa c:\install\xenapp\Windows6.1-KB2578159-x64.msu /quiet /norestart /log:c:\install\xenapp\logs\MicrosoftHotfixKB2578159Log.txt wusa c:\install\xenapp\Windows6.1-KB2617858-x64.msu /quiet /norestart /log:c:\install\xenapp\logs\MicrosoftHotfixKB2617858Log.txt The updates get installed but the log files generated just contain gibberish. In addition, each log file also get a ".dpx" file. Any idea why the log file is unreadable and what the dpx file is? [cid:image001.png@01CDE830.AA859D90] Google isn't turning up anything on this. BTW, Happy New Year.
