Thanks, Robert.

For the Windows Update COM example, Quin was the one who kicked that all off, just want to make sure they are recognized for that....

Oh that's neat, my days of sifting through Microsoft docs paid off in more ways than just an application.

Hi Quin:

I apologize for not posting an acknowledgment for your contribution to the BCX Documentation Version 8.1.7 example showing how to call the Windows Update using COM.

I will revise the list of acknowledgments to credit you and Armando, both, for the creation of that example.

Thank you.
