How to get the windows update list from Microsoft?

[youngqi]

Hi,

I want to get the windows update list from Microsoft web site. I mean that I

want to get the list by my own program, not by the IE or other browser.

Who can tell me how to do this?

Tnanks.

You can try the Windows Update API library located in c:\Windows\System32\wuapi.dll

You need to use wsusscn2.cab (download from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=74689) for offline scanning.

Hi, all

I've get the update list by WUA. But i can't get the download url of the update.

I've got the update by the following interfaces,

IUpdateSession

IUpdateSearcher

IUpdateCollection

IUpdate.

By the MSDN, the DownloadContents property of IUpdate can give the download URL.

But i can't get it. the DownloadContents is null.

Who can give me any hints?

Thanks.

I've got the url by the BundledUpdates property of IUpdate.
