I understand that the UpdateGenerator.exe program will search and download all of the Updates that are needed for my computer, but does it also Start the installation of those Updates ?

Or, do I need to look for another command that will install the updates ?

After my first run of UpdateGenerator, I checked for Installed Updates, but saw nothing new was added.

UpdateGenerator is the download part of our program, the installation part is in the /client subfolder

I now understand how to use the Update.cmd, after running the UpdateGenerator.

My Win7 PC was stuck at trying to download updates for over 6 months. Now it is finally Up to Date !!!

Thanks very much for this helpful set of tools.

That's not completely correct. UpdateGenerator will download ALL available updates, not just those needed for computer X or Y. That way it's irrelevant which patch level your system has or any other system. You can patch all of them up to the same patch level using the same WSUS Offline repository.

Please note that Update.cmd is for unattended usage. For interactive usage, use UpdateInstaller.exe which will call Update.cmd (->DoUpdate.cmd) with the correct commandline switches. Using Update.cmd directly, you must care for specifying those switches by thyself.
