Determining a Hot Fix's Installation Date

[Guest]

I have located a WSH Script on Microsoft TechNet that is supposed to enumerate installed hot fixes and give the date of installation. I have run the script, but the installation date is blank for every hot fix it finds. I installed a number of hot fixes today via Windows Update, and all are showing up with a blank Installation Date

Here's the code I am using
------------------------------------------
strComputer = ".
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:"
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2"
Set colQuickFixes = objWMIService.ExecQuery
("Select * from Win32_QuickFixEngineering"
For Each objQuickFix in colQuickFixe
Wscript.Echo "Computer: " & objQuickFix.CSNam
Wscript.Echo "Description: " & objQuickFix.Descriptio
Wscript.Echo "Hot Fix ID: " & objQuickFix.HotFixI
Wscript.Echo "Installation Date: " & objQuickFix.InstallDat
Wscript.Echo "Installed By: " & objQuickFix.InstalledB
Nex
-------------------------------

Any thoughts on how I can get the installation date to show

Thank you

(Not sure if this is the right place for this question, so if I should post it elsewhere, please let me know!)

The script is valid, I believe the date is unavailable so it can't display
it.
I have never seen a date using this script ever.

You could write something to access the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\WindowscXP\
and its \SP1 \SP2 or \SP3 subkeys. Each fix has a subkey, referenced by
its KB number, under one of those and the data contains InstalledDate

Thank you for the information.

Do you know if there is any way to force the installation date to be registered whenever a patch is installed ? It seems weird to have the field out there, but never to make use of it.
