sorry - maybe I lost your mails catched by the SPAM filter...

you need to tweak a bit wxWebUpdate internals... you could add a --query 
option to WebUpdate which silently returns 0 if an update is available 
and 1 if not. Then from your app you could wxExecute("webupdater.exe 
--query"); and look for the return code...

currently yes, but I agree yours is a common need and I'd gladly accept 
a patch which adds an option like --query (or if you have better ideas 
to accomplish it please let me know).
