Dim Computers As ComputerTargetCollection
Dim InstallInfoCollection As UpdateInstallationInfoCollection
Computers = updateServer.GetComputerTargets
For Each computer As IComputerTarget In Computers
InstallInfoCollection = computer.GetUpdateInstallationInfoPerUpdate
'loop through the updates in the install info collection and output the update's name/install state
For Each InstallInfo As IUpdateInstallationInfo In InstallInfoCollection
Debug.WriteLine(InstallInfo.GetUpdate.Title + ": "  + InstallInfo.UpdateInstallationState.ToString)
