Not working

[chavv]

1st run from mapped drive was not intentional.
The problem is still will stop at some point - even run from local disk :/

Do you use wget (default) or aria2 to download the updates?

[chavv]

Activating Aria leads again to error

Looks Like I had found WHAT was causing the problem, tho I have no idea WHY

Some time ago I started using small 1GB RAM disk for temporary folder... and for some reason this was causing the error above
Set temp folder on HDD - all downloads went just fine.

[chavv]

Even identified the line which causes the problem

%CSCRIPT_PATH% //Nologo //B //E:vbs XSLT.vbs "%TEMP%\package.xml" ..\xslt\ExtractDownloadLinks-%1-%3-%2.xsl "%TEMP%\DynamicDownloadLinks-%1-%2.txt"

from DownloadUpdates.cmd
It fails if temp dir is set to root folder !
eg
temp=g:\ == FAIL
temp=g:\temp == run ok

It has nothing to do with temp being set on ram disk... just some script expects temp dir to be subdir.

Hi!

Even identified the line which causes the problem[...]It fails if temp dir is set to root folder !

...and that's why this is blocked by UpdateGenerator.au3 (line 2828++):

Code: Select all

If StringRight(@TempDir, 1) = "\" Then
  If ShowGUIInGerman() Then
    MsgBox(0x2010, "Fehler", "Der %TEMP%-Pfad enthält einen abschließenden Backslash ('\').")
  Else
    MsgBox(0x2010, "Error", "The %TEMP% path contains a trailing backslash ('\').")
  EndIf
  Exit(1)
EndIf


BTW: UpdateInstaller.au3 blocks this in a similar way.

Weird, I never saw this Msgbox :/
This check exists in 0.8.6 - just checked, its line 2789 in 0.8.6
Looks like this check is not executed ?

[chavv]

added:

Code: Select all

echo %TEMP%>>%DOWNLOAD_LOGFILE%

on line 27 in DownloadUpdates.cmd - when Temp dir has "\" at the end - download fails, NO error msgbox, in log I get

g:\temp\

Then I added

Code: Select all

GUISetState()
MsgBox (0x2010, "Info", "Temp dir is " & @Tempdir)

and...
Even when temp dir is g:\temp\
the msgbox says
g:\temp

So, somehow, the au3 script always gets Tempdir with last "\" trimmed. Maybe AutoIt feature?

But batch files fail, because they get the right temp path.

[WSUSUpdateAdmin]

Sad.
Fixed in http://trac.wsusoffline.net/browser/trunk (r521): "- Fix: Check for trailing backslash in environment variable TEMP was broken in UpdateGenerator and UpdateInstaller scripts (Thanks to "chavv")"

Thanks for attention, sorry for inconvenience
and kind regards
