I use this for applications. If the update is installed it returns the kb, otherwise it does not - so it is not installed.
strComputer = "."
HF_ID = "KB2775511"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from
Win32_QuickFixEngineering Where HotFixID='" & HF_ID & "'",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo "HotFixID: " & objItem.HotFixID
Next
