[solved] Error when running WSUS Offline Update 10.7.4

[aker]

Hi,

When using WSUS Offline Update 10.7.4 to patch a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 server I get the following error.

"Error 0# when calling C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 /D /C Update.cmd /verify in C:\temp\w61-x64.Server2008R2x64."

It looks to me like the command is not even executing.

What is wrong?

regards

Solved!

I had ComSpec set up as follows: "ComSpec=C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319".

From Computer --> Properties --> System --> Advanced System Settings --> Environment Variables --> Select "ComSpec"

Then Click Edit and remove ";C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319".

Retry and it no longer produces the error (Error 0# when calling C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 /D /C Update.cmd /verify in C:\temp\w61-x64.Server2008R2x64) and starts to patch the server!

The .NET additional string surely should go into %PATH%, not %COMSPEC%.
