retval: MUST be set either to VARIANT_TRUE if a reboot is required to complete the installation or uninstallation of this update or to VARIANT_FALSE if not.

Return Values: The method MUST return information in an HRESULT data structure. The severity bit in the structure identifies the following conditions:
