Did you upgrade WSUS Offline Update to the new version 11.7 in-between?
Version upgrades may interfere here, because they replace all files and reset them to their default states. The exclusion of German installers should be remembered, but only if you let the
UpdateGenerator.exe do the upgrade.
Exclusion of German installersIf you run the script RemoveGermanLanguageSupport.cmd, then it will remove all German download links from the files:
- Code: Select all
../static/StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet.txt
../static/StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet-x86-glb.txt
../static/StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet-x64-glb.txt
../static/StaticDownloadLinks-msse-x86-glb.txt
../static/StaticDownloadLinks-msse-x64-glb.txt
../static/StaticDownloadLinks-w60-x86-glb.txt
../static/StaticDownloadLinks-w60-x64-glb.txt
../static/StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x86-glb.txt
../static/StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x64-glb.txt
The script RemoveGermanLanguageSupport.cmd by itself does not remove any existing downloads.
The script DownloadUpdates.cmd will remove obsolete files, which are not referenced anymore, on the next download run. This
cleanup of client directories is enabled by default. It can only be disabled by editing the settings file UpdateGenerator.ini directly.
Version upgrades of WSUS Offline UpdateA version upgrade is initiated by the application UpdateGenerator.exe:
- UpdateGenerator.exe runs the script CheckOUVersion.cmd, to search for new versions.
- If there is a new version available, it will ask for confirmation to install it.
- UpdateGenerator.exe then runs the script UpdateOU.cmd, to do the upgrade.
- The script UpdateOU.cmd checks, if German updates are disabled, by searching the file StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x86-glb.txt for German download links.
- The script UpdateOU.cmd installs the new version and replaces all files.
- If German updates were disabled before, then the script UpdateOU.cmd runs the script RemoveGermanLanguageSupport.cmd again.
This should usually work, but if you download the wsusoffline archive yourself and manually copy the new files over existing files, or if you use other tools for the version upgrade, then the state of German installers may not be remembered.
So you could start all over again:Check the current state:
- of the mentioned static download files
- of the actual downloads in the client directory
Run the script RemoveGermanLanguageSupport.cmd
- check the static download files for changes
Do a new download run
- check the actual downloads for changes
Report everything
