Script to remove german update files

[sao]

As our internet connection is limited downloading German updates can be quite hurtful especially as we only need English updates. I therefore created a script RemoveGermanLanguageSupport.cmd (see below) which removes those updates automatically instead of removing them manually one by one. I am aware that those static files will be overwritten each time there is a new version of wsusoffline. I think with such a script it is not a big deal though to run it quickly to get back to status quo after wsusoffline has been updated.

RemoveGermanLanguageSupport.cmd

Code: Select all

@echo off

verify other 2>nul
setlocal enableextensions
if errorlevel 1 goto NoExtensions

cd /D "%~dp0"

set LANG=deu

  )
)
goto EoF

:NoExtensions
echo.
echo ERROR: No command extensions / delayed variable expansion available.

I assume that such a script would be helpful for other users as well and therefore wanted to ask whether it could be included in the official wsusoffline archive? Let me know what you think.
