Scripting windows update

Is it possible to write a VB script to run on XP which forces Windows
Update to run, download any patches, install them and then reboot the
PC?

Hi,

Rob Dunn have created a nice VBScript that can do both detecting and
"install now" on a computer:

Windows Update Agent force script, email results

The Windows Update Agent API used in the script is documented here:

Several VBScript examples available at the MSDN web site as well:

this is great! especially the example from the MSFT site.

I was unable to find an API reference to simply install "all updates"
and then reboot. The example seems to download each update, then
install one at a time.. what happens if a given update wants to reboot.

I am new to OS scripting to pls bear with my ignorance.
