"File hash does not match stored value"

[boco]

No, you're quite right--the log was from the updater. I was just seeing if it provided any clues to sort this out... Is there a generator log I could post? Would that be helpful

So did you at least did one download run? Only the generator can make a possibly inconsistend repository consistent again and rebuild the hashes. The updater cannot do that.

So did you at least did one download run? Only the generator can make a possibly inconsistent repository consistent again and rebuild the hashes. The updater cannot do that.

What I've been doing is: try to get the required folders right in 'root' and 'client' (there have been a few configurations suggested... ), delete the contents of /client/md/, run UpdateGenerator, run UpdateInstaller. So, yes, I have run the generator every time and have never had a problem with it. It is the installer that quits and gives the error. Perhaps it is worth noting that all the files in 'client' have been downloaded by WSUSOU--I have not added any manually as per the FAQs. So I think the file names should be correct.

Hi.

Well, I can't read all the postings of this thread, so why don't start "from scratch":

1) Download http://download.wsusoffline.net/wsusoffline73.zip
2) Unpack its content to, let's say, C:\wou_new
3) Under C:\wou_new\client, you'll then find

Code: Select all

 Verzeichnis von C:\wou_new\client

4) Open an Explorer and navigate to your existing "installation", let's say, C:\wou_old
5) Under C:\wou_old\client, you'll find a lot, for example

Code: Select all

6) Now, please read carefully, select every directory under C:\wou_old\client except for "bin", "cmd", "exclude", "opt", "static" (the distributed ones) and "md" and copy or move all of these directories to C:\wou_new\client.
7) Run C:\wou_new\UpdateGenerator.exe and download whatever you want, with or without verification.
8) Remove C:\wou_old on success.

I wrote a script, which will create a clean WSUSOU folder.
You have to correct the paths in the config section.
Then run the script and restart downloading.
That will fix your problem.

Thank you for the clear instructions! I followed them and ran WSUSOU without verification... and it worked. What are the implications of that?

[rednaxela]

Thank you for the clear instructions!

That´s it was here is needed and not the "most tricky mod".
Maybe less is sometimes more and maybe it´s not helpfull for a "simple user" to offer him solutions which are too much complicate, and for all: unnecessarily complcate

Thank you for the clear instructions! I followed them and ran WSUSOU without verification... and it worked. What are the implications of that?

Without verification? So there was no hash check....

Well, no, there wasn't a hash check. Torsten (WSUSApdateAdmin) wrote in step 7 of his very clear post that the Generator could be run with or without verification. Since I've been having so much trouble with the hashes not matching, I decided to follow his advice. If you have some valuable help to share, I'd love to hear it. That's why I'm asking what the implications are. As I said in my fourth post, "Pretend I don't know anything!" But I must say I don't find 'rolling eyes' very helpful...

Moin!

I wrote a script, which will create a clean WSUSOU folder.

Entschuldigung, aber die Mühe hätten Sie sich sparen können; das ist doch völlig "oversized"!
Das hier ist bzw. war doch ein einmaliges Problem, und man schreibt doch nicht ein 80-Zeilen-Skript, das eigentlich nur ein paar Verzeichnisse umkopieren soll, dafür aber Fehler enthalten kann, zur einmaligen Verwendung!
Im übrigen ist das Problem ja gelöst und hätte mit etwas mehr Pragmatismus nach dem KISS-Prinzip ("keep it short and simple") sicherlich auch früher gelöst werden können.

You have to correct the paths in the config section.

Und genau an solchen vermeintlichen Banalitäten scheitert es ja schon oft genug:
- Wo muss das Skript abgelegt werden?
- Wo ist die "config section"?
- Dürfen die Pfadangaben dort relativ sein?
- ...

Ich denke, es geht in diesen (und anderen) Foren in erster Linie darum, Anwenderprobleme zu lösen und nicht darum, eigene Fertigkeiten zu belegen.

@si_updates: Thanks for feedback!

Well, I ran UpdateGenerator with "Verify downloaded updates" checked. Then I tried to run UpdateInstaller with "Verify installation packages" checked. But this returned the hash mismatch error. Running UpdateInstaller with "Verify installation packages" unchecked worked fine. So I'm thinking I'll continue running the Generator with "Verification" checked and the Installer with "Verification" unchecked. Any red flags with that approach? If not, no response necessary.
