Specifies the criteria with which the updates are searched on the server (Windows Update Site or WSUS).
If no criteria is specified, WuInstall searches by default for software (no drivers!) which has not yet been installed. So the default criteria is: IsInstalled=0 and Type='Driver'.
When an invalid criteria was specified, the search fails and WuInstall exits with code 4.
