Here's a batch file that will install all hotfixes in the directory
from which it is run (may be wrapped):

for /R %%f in (Q*.exe) do echo Installing %%f && %%f -n -z -q -m
qchain.exe
REM add any other files to install here...

This batch file will run every file matching Q*.exe in the current
directory. Note that not every hotfix follows that naming convention
(such as the one for MS01-022). For those, you can just add those
manually at the end.

So make that into a batch file, throw the hotfixes into the same dir
and run it.

Here's a variation:

To verify the signature on each hotfix before installing, use
chktrust.exe, which is found in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/tools/authenticode/codesign.exe
(may be wrapped):

for /R %%f in (Q*.exe) do chktrust -q %%~nxf && (echo Installing
%%~nxf... && %%f -n -z -q -m && echo -) || (echo %%f is corrupt
and will not be installed)

qchain.exe
REM add any other files to install here...

Hope this helps.
