Hello,
I already pointed this out a long time ago, and although I was assured it would be fixed, the problem persists.
In the WAPT console,
under the Inventory tab, the installation dates of WUA updates are almost never recorded. It's impossible to know when an update was applied.
Under the Windows Updates tab, the download dates of updates are also not recorded.
Sincerely,
Tom
WUA: No installation date

I'll look into a solution; I have a few ideas. Windows Update doesn't always return a history, so we don't have the date. Does WMI sometimes return other information? I'll see
Actually, the column doesn't really make much sense; I think we'll just remove it to avoid confusion.
Explanation: a kb (update_id) is not a single file, it is a set of files.
And some files can be used by multiple update_ids (kb). So putting a date on each file would make sense, but putting a date on the kb line doesn't.

Just so you know, I've made some progress. With WMI, I can retrieve all the dates for the cab systems.
However, for all other products, it seems impossible... I'll keep looking, but it looks complicated.

Hello Thomas and Simon,
indeed, Windows doesn't seem to store the installation dates for all products. The WAPT agent knows when it performed the installation, so we could store the information in waptdb.sqlite and try to fill in the missing data in the Windows history.

That seems like a good idea to me, Denis!

Hmm, yeah...
Basically, we won't be able to use the product cabs that were already installed when the machine was formatted.
The same goes if the product cab was installed manually via an MSU, for example.
So I don't know if it's worth doing that.
