Downloading Latest Version

[mam6749]

When downloading newest version how do I keep all of the updates from a previous version so I do not have to download all the updates again, which takes a very long time. I am hoping that there is a way to import or copy the existing update files over to the new version to shorten the complete download cycle of updategenerator on a new WSUSoffine version. If anyone has accomplished this and has a procedure your guidance would be very much appreciated.

Q: How can I update "WSUS Offline Update" itself?
A: As long as release notes or installation hints don't recommend other, you may unpack a new version's archive (.zip) over/into an existing structure, if you let existing files be overwritten.
Of course you may use the automatic self update functionality instead.
