Vista Tutorial - Get Date/Time of Last Windows Update

Hello,

is there a registry key or a WMI query or anything to get the date and time
the system has been updated the last time via Windows Update?

I mean the date/time that is also shown when you open the Windows Update
applet where it says "Updates were installed:" under "Most recent check for
updates:".

I appreciate every hint!

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi delboy,

thanks for your response.

I might just have expressed my concern not clearly enough: We need to read
this timestamp with a software program called "BGinfo" (it's a Microsoft tool
that displays certain system information on your desktop).
This program can read registry entries, WMI queries, text files or VB-scripts.

So we need a solution that uses one of those possibilities to get this
last-updated-timestamp.

Thanks.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update\Results\Detect
LastSuccessTime

and here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update\Results\Download
LastSuccessTime

LastSuccessTime is a string with both date and time, and appears to be
GMT so will be different than your local time by whatever time zone you
are in.

Hope this helps!
