Vig:
The original post actually contains references to 'hotfix.exe', 'xpfixes', and 'q1.exe' (most likely abbreviation for quickfixes like q123456.exe).
We did provide solutions to the original problem. However, we also started pointing out shortcoming in the overall objective. I think it is valid to help him solve the underlying problem instead of just providing answers to the specific question and then have him knowingly script into a dead end. Essentially, his script would not work the way he conceptualized it.
Additionally, some research on this BBS would provide him with solutions to both the DIR problem and the 'how-to install hotfixes' problem.
