[wpkg-users] Powershell and windows update...

[Bernhard Mayr]

On Windows server editions, Windows has a command line utility (maybe on
other editions too) called sconfig.cmd in C:\Windows\System32, which also
installs updates. The heavy lifting installing updates is done by the VBS
script WUA_SearchDownloadInstall.vbs also in C:\Windows\System32 or a
language specific subdirectory.
This script searches, download and installs updates in the background
without any user interaction, It does so by creating aVBS installer object
and using its methods.
I use a slightly modified version to install updates via WPKG by running
the VBS script with cscript.

Analyzing this script should give you hints how to uninstall without any
user interaction the way microsoft does it.

Good luck

Bernhard
