[python-win32] Exit Status of Microsoft Patches

[Atul Kamat]

Hi!

I tried installing a microsoft security patch for XP using os.system
method on windows 2000 professional. The installtion failed because of
incompatibility, but it still returned an exit code of ' 0 '.I also
tried using os.popen2,3,4 methods but didnt work.Any Inputson how i
can get the correct exit error code?..

I tried the following commands
os.system('patch_name /q/z/m')
and
os.popen2('patch_name /q/z/m')

Thanks and Regards
