A quick search suggested the command line tool WMIC that can be used for this purpose. Using WMIC as below would give you the complete details of the patches that were installed on the machine -

C:\>WMIC QFE LIST

WMIC is the command line interface for WMI & works from Windows XP & Windows Server 2003 onwards. Complete details for WMIC can be found here.
