It depends on what you mean by “from code”. If you are willing to run a separate EXE (rather than invoke an API), then you can use
WUSA.exeto install .MSU files. See KB 934307,Description of the Windows Update Stand-alone Installer (Wusa.exe) and of.msu files in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and in Windows Server 2008 R2.
