Can't remove KB977165 with batch file

[toddandmargo]

Hi All,

I am trying to write an automated (batch) way
to remove KB977165. But even though I
can do a "dir" on "Spuninst", I get a file not
found. What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks,
-T


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~batch file~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@echo off
rem Remove KB977165

c:
cd %WinDir%
cd ^$NtUninstallKB977165^$

cd
dir .\spuninst
echo.
..\spuninst
echo.

pause

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~result~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB977165$

Figured it out. There is an extra 'spuninst" in
the path

Should be:
cd ^$NtUninstallKB977165^$\spuninst

Now that is embarrassing! :'[
