Hello,
in a project with 99% automated deployment, I'd like to create a package whose auditing would allow me to perform certain actions based on the status of the packages on the machine.
Basically, it's about knowing if there are packages marked as NEED-UPDATE or ERROR on the PC so I can make a decision afterward.

I've been experimenting with the WAPT API for a while, but I'm stuck!

Same with the WUA update status.

Thanks in advance!

I found WAPT.error_packages() which seems to do the job.
