VB Script to verify video driver version and then update if it's not correct

Hello,

I am trying to create a vbscript that would check the video driver version and then update the driver if it is not the correct version. I have a few different machine models and various display adapters. It will need to verify the hardware and driver version then install the correct driver unattended. Below is the vbs that I started which will identify the video driver version and model. Where I am stuck is how to get the script to use the info to verify and then carry out the install. I also need to ensure the event is captured in the event viewer which I believe is almost complete but not sure if a failure is recorded. Can someone please help with reviewing this to see what I am missing. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to verify then install from a network location. Also how to handle other models? Do I just cut and paste the process and change the else command?

Sorry - please bear with me - but I am pretty new to vbscript and I still have ALOT to learn as you will see..Honestly, I am truly amazed I even got this far on my own. I am open to suggestions. Many Thanks!

Const EVENT_SUCCESS = 0

objShell.LogEvent EVENT_SUCCESS, _

If driver version Is Not 8.15.10.2321 And the model =nvidia Then install (\\server\data\files\drivers\nvidia\setup.msi /qn)
