There's a note in the API Samples Readme which says: "The samples are coded to
expect a local WSUS server. For a CONSOLE_ONLY installation of WSUS the code
needs to be modified to use an overloaded version of GetUpdateServer() that uses
the name of the remote WSUS server. "
I would interpret that as meaning that you must have at least the WSUS console
installed.
