"Download of mkisofs tool failed" for w60 and w60-x64

I hope I'm not duplicating another topic, but when I search the forum for mkisofs I get "The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: mkisofs." I can't imagine "mkisofs" is a common word. I've never heard of it until today.

I have a scripted process that uses WSUS Offline to download Microsoft updates. It examines the download log for each product, and counts the download as failed if it finds any instances of ' - Error: ' or ' - Warning: Download of '.

The script runs once a week on Fridays. In today's run of the script, the download logs for w60 and w60-x64 contain "Warning: Download of mkisofs tool failed". There are no other errors or warnings in the download logs for these products.

The download logs for all other operating systems have "Info: Downloaded/validated mkisofs tool".

When the script encounters a failure, it tries the failed product download one more time. The second tries for w60 and w60-x64 also failed the same way, with "Warning: Download of mkisofs tool failed".

Could you post a screenshot of the cmd-window showing the error?
Does the error still happen after the download succeded for another OS?

Figuring it might be some temporary problem with Microsoft, I waited half an hour, tried again.
The mkisofs problem was fixed, for all products: "Info: Downloaded/validated mkisofs tool"
But then the next download log line was "Error: File integrity verification failure", also for all products, after which the download process quits.

I've seen the "file integrity verification failure" before. Whenever that happens, I have to wipe out my entire existing wsusoffline folder, download a fresh copy, rebuild the folder, try again. I did that, ran my script again, and it succeeded for all products.

No, you only have to delete the contents of .\client\md\ when that happens.

Thanks, "boco", I will give that a try next time.
