Some old updates are not inluded on client

[zembela]

Hi,

First I want thank you for this open source software which saves our life

I read many articles about this tool. I have new-formatted (non-updated) Win 7 64 Bit. I have simple questions here:

1) I create an ISO with this options:
http://s21.postimg.org/mykhmfxt3/scresnshot.jpg

I use the directory where copied files (usb medium feature). I use UpdateInstaller.exe. I enabled all checkbox there. I reboot system many many times. Everything seems ok. But after everything I check the updates form window's default manager. I see 43 important updates. I know some of them are very new and you have not udpated the url's yet. That's very normal. But most of updates are released on 2012 and 2011. For example: KB2563227 This update has been published 09.08.2011. There are many old updates. Why?

2) How can I create a fully update system? (except very very new ones because you can not update the software every day ofcorse)

3) USB medium's (copy directory) &
wsusoffline\client &
wsusoffline\iso\wsusoffline-w61-x64.iso
All of them have different file size. Why? They are not the same? If not what is the differences of them?

4) Why windows server 2003 and XP has language choices and 7, vista and 8 have not? All of new platforms updates are multilanguage based?

5) On the Office tab I see this text: "If you select another Office product, Updates for Office 2013 will be included automatically." But I don't want to select office 2010 because I don't need 2010's update. I just use office 2013. So why I should download 2010 too?

6) Where is the source code of WSUS Offline Update?

I would be very very happy if you can help me about this questions..

Thanks in advance

1) I guess you misunderstood how WSUSOU works. There are no URLs to update (except a few statically defined things). The majority of update URLs is determined automatically, using a Microsoft catalog file. This catalog does ONLY contain security critical updates. Not security-related patches are ignored by WSUSOU.

See also: Abdeckung des / Coverage of WSUS Offline Update

2) You'd need to search for an actual updates package. WSUSOU cannot provide what you desire.

3) The repository in the ./client subdirectory is larger. It contains supplemental files and ALL your selected OS+Office patches. Depending on your selection, not relevant updates are filtered and not contained in the final media.

4) Since Vista nearly all patches are of global type, they are valid for all languages. There are some exceptions like IE and MSSE, however.

5) Please read viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3724 - there's only very limited support for O2k13 due to MS not including these updates in their catalog.

6) Here: http://trac.wsusoffline.net/browser/trunk

Almost everything is batch and VBS code, anyway, so there's no real source vs. compiled release. The only components compiled are the AutoIt3 (*.au3) files (the GUI).

@boco thank you Now I understand better what does WSUS Offline does.

I have now another problem:

WSUS update installer try to install ie9-windows6.1-kb2829530-x64_b4aede1.....cab. But I did not select IE9 to install. Because I have installed IE10 before. And now I restart the system but it install the update again and again. I read the english doc (faq) file. You have write:

follow the instructions to reset the Windows Update components (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058)

I install the pacth here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 and I restart my system, but it does not solved my problem.

I try to use Bleachbit to clean some temp, windows installation files... But it changed nothing.

Is there any bug here? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you?

This is an error of wsusou.
Download this file (this is a newer version of that script, which is part of a trunk version of the program) and install it to .\client\cmd. That should fix that issue.
