Hi esk,

To recents HotFix there is a ID. The installed hotfixes can be found at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix\*
Where * is the ID, my only one is Q147222.
More details inside the key.

It is a binary value?..

how can i read from it, and get the hotfixes that was installed?..
No, after open the key call the method GetKeyNames to enumerate all subkeys, so compares the values with the desired hotfix id.
