    copy this to notepad and save as install.cmd

    IF EXIST "%~dp0*.msu" (FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('DIR /B "%~dp0*.msu"') DO (start /wait %~dp0%%A /quiet /norestart))

    Windows Update Standalone or MSU files were only introduced into Vista and Windows Server 2008. They are not supported by XP

    you can use the following code inside a cmd file and store it in the folder where ur hotfixes resides and simply run it. no matter how many hotfixes are there, everything would get installed.

    TITLE hotfixes Install
    CLS
    ECHO.
    ECHO installing hotfixes
    ECHO Please wait...
    FOR %%f IN (*.exe) DO "%%f" /passive /norestart
    ECHO.
    ECHO installation Completed!
    ECHO.
    pause
    EXIT
