I’m facing a problem with my system and I figured out that it’s caused by a MS Update. Since there are some users that can’t find, or even don’t know how to uninstall the update, I dediced to create a compatibility test page, where I’m going to check some info about the user’s PC, like web browser version, installed windows updates (the most important!) and Stuff. I remember that Windows XP was able to search and install the system updated using the Web Browser.
Does anybody knows how can I list the installed updates using PHP ou JavaScript maybe?
Thanks!
You cannot do this without an ActiveX control. The browser does not have direct access to the registry, which is where the information you need lives.
