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.txt

This 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.

Thanks

Greetings oh wise ones,

On this project I am on, I need to install the MS recommended hotfixes from 
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX129229 .

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?

Google isn't turning up anything on this.

BTW, Happy New Year.

Thanks

Does someone actually use wordpad for anything?

My guess, character set and wordpad bungles it up. Use notepad, or a real 
editor like vi :)
