''' C: Software updates (OS and software, no hardware updates)ĭim updateSession ' Object to hold our MS Update Session ''' Performs a windows update check for any updates that are. See below (IUpdate3 used around the middle of the code chunk). Using BrowseOnly, I can determine if an update is important or optional. What BrowseOnly does, is specify if an update is optional or not. IUpdate3 is an interface which contains a property named BrowseOnly. Once I put that reference in, I was successfully able to cast my result as an IUpdate3. It turns out that I did not have a reference to WUApi.DLL in my code.

IsMandatory.Ĭode snippet for searching the WUA is below: Dim updateSession ' Object to hold our MS Update Sessionĭim updateSearcher ' Object to perform our MS Win Update Searchĭim results ' Object to hold our MS Win Update IsMandatory field is only used when the update is specifically for WUA itself, so important updates are not necessary labeled with. I would like to have an output similar to: It can search for and retrieve updates just fine, but I am having trouble drilling down for what priority an update is. I'm currently writing a type of automated program that among other things searches for windows updates.
