Missing Updates

[Poynter]

Hello,

Downloaded Windows 7 and Office 2010 updates.

It installed IE, .Net, etc. and around 70 updates, completed all fine.

Ran Windows Update and there still seems to be a lot of outstanding updates required.

Thought it might need the "get updates for Microsoft products" ran on WU, but WSUS Offline still doesn't pick these up.

Ignore the driver and blacklisted updates.

Any ideas?

Harry,

Is there anyway to add them manually to the Generator so they are pushed to the client? I was looking around and saw some people tried to do it through the Static folder and then custom. i've created a txt file named StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x86-glb.txt and pasted links like this for example:

Code: Select all

http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/C/2/3C25B19B-1818-41E6-BF07-6D00C244C583/Windows6.1-KB2647753-v2-x86.msu

followed by a pressing return after the link. Hoping that the Generator would look at that folder and download the update so it could be pushed to the client.

Let us know if anything like that is possible or if there is another way.

Thanks

Will

That's the first step.

For the next step see ...\doc\faq-enu.txt:

Q: Can I download/install additional patches?
A: Yes, you can adjust how the download and update scripts behave by excluding or adding patches from download or installation. For adding updates proceed as follows:

1. Adding updates to download routines
For adding an update to be downloaded, insert its download URL into the matching "StaticDownloadLinks-<platform>[-architecture>]-<language>.txt file, found in the ".\static" directory.

2. Adding updates to installation routines
Add an update to installation by inserting its knowledge base ID (KBxxxxxx or simply xxxxxx) into the matching "StaticUpdateIds-<platform>[-<architecture>].txt file (directory ".\client\static"). This update will then be installed every time, even if it was already installed.

For your example create the file ...\client\static\custom\StaticUpdateIds-w61-x86.txt with the following content:

Code: Select all

2647753

Hi guys, sorry to bring this topic back to life but as you can see, I just discover this great tool and I´m still experimenting with it.
Basically I´m on the same situation of the person who created this topic.
FE.: On my clean windows 7 64bits installation, there were 96 updates missing. After I ran the updates your tool created, there were still 44 missing, BUT IT HAPPENS TO BE that I have those updates on a folder on my HDD, in .MSU format (Windows6.1-KB2506014-x64.msu, etc). Before I know the existence of this tool, I used to download the updates manually 1 by 1 from the Microsoft Download Center.
Is there a way to add those missing updates to the ISO file I have and make the application to use those files? I know how to use UltraISO to modify the content of an ISO file and I was reading the FAQ and I know I need to modify the .\client\static\custom\StaticUpdateIds-w61-x64.txt file to add the missing file´s number like:
2506014

but............where I should copy the MSU files? can I use those files or should I convert the files to another format? how can I configure the tool to use them once copied on the desired folder?
Hope this newbie questions does not bother you too much
Thanks a lot in advance.

PS. last one.........what about the update which name is like "Windows6.1-KB2536276-v2-x64.msu"? should I type on StaticUpdateIds-w61-x64.txt just:
2536276 or should I type KB2536276-v2-x64?

I´m reading and reading that post but I couldnt find anything useful there. Could you please clarify that to me? I don´t need a brief explanation about the functionality of the application, I know what it does. I need some help to manually add some patches that I already had downloaded on my HDD to an existing ISO file (and obviously, assistance to configure the corresponding files).
Regards,

Alx

Oh, I'm sorry; I accidentally read the wrong post. You need to add the number (in this case "2536276"), nothing else.

And where I should copy the .MSU files that I already have? a have a folder with all the 44 files missing.

Yes (copy them to .\client\w61-x64\glb\), but you need to disable the cleanup feature in UpdateGenerator.
If you still want to use it, you need to add the links to .\static\custom\StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x64-glb.txt, else wsusou will delete the files.
