AutoUpdate and critical updates
All:
I'm trying to call AutoUpdate in VB 6 from a non-interacting NT Service in the following manner:
GettingUpdates = oUpdate.AutoUpdate(AppUpdateID, True, 0)
The problem is, even with an update marked "Next Use" available, AutoUpdate always returns false. Yet when I do an interactive update check with AppUpdate like this:
oUpdate.AppUpdate AppUpdateID, AppMenu
I can see the update and run it just fine.
BTW I'm trying to run a silent MSP with the following switches:
REINSTALL="MainFeature" /qn /Lv c:\temp\Patch0101_0103.txt
Can anyone offer some guidance on what I should be looking for to resolve this?
Thanks in advance!

I guess the best place to start would be checking the return value of the call to AutoUpdate. Can you check this and make sure that it did not return a failure?

Well, I guess that was my point when I said:
"The problem is, even with an update marked "Next Use" available, AutoUpdate always returns false."
Or is there some method of checking the result of the call other than the boolean return value of the method?
TIA

Sorry I missed that bit of information.
Would it be possible to use the Download Method? this is available only for the professional license but I want to see if this has the same problem or not. Please let me know if it does.

Unfortunately, I can't try the Download method because when I try to enumerate the updates I get a collection with 0 items.

I used the http address you provided and I am not able to access this locally. Let's try a test. Can you create a new product code and software application update and get this message? Please let me know if you can do this or not.

I installed the sample app included with ISUS to the test machine.
Running the test app you provided yielded the same results.

It worked.
I replaced the product code and ran my app's menu based update check and the unattended update check using enumpdates.
Both found the critical update for the ISUS Smaple App.

Now let's add a new critical update for the existing product and see if we can get this or not.

I'm not sure which old message you mean.
However, the 1st critical message for the ISUS Sample App was also visible as I did not allow the update to be performed. I simply wanted to succesfuly enumerate the messages, which it did.
If you mean the message for the app I'm developing: I changed the product code back and ran the test again with the same result of no updates showing up.
