Can you explain me how to add non-critical updates?

[realtebo]

I read in this forum that is possible to manually add some non critical updates to static packages ... how exactly ?

I can be more exact: I've created the ISO on another PC. Now i've already Office 2010 ita + global update installer ISO.

I've seen some not-included updated availabl online.

I'd like to manually download it (i cannot redownload ALL from scratch and i've no more access to the pc) and then add directly to the (uncompressed) iso.

Then I'll be able to recreate a more-updated iso.

Is it possible ?

As you said, wsusou just downloads and installs the security updates listed in Microsoft's catalog wsusscn2.cab.
If you want to install other updates just create a text file named "StaticDownloadLinks-o2k10-glb.txt" in ".\static\custom" and put your download links into it.
(Don't forget to add a blank line at the end of the file)

For installation just create a text file named "StaticUpdateIds-o2k10.txt" in .\client\static\custom" and put the id's of the updates into it (e.g. "123456" for the update "Office2010-KB123456-x86-glb.exe").

Then start UpdateGenerator and start download.

Is there no way to add installation file directly into 'client' folder, without add to download, and restart the update generator ?

I don't know, how to do so for Office because the patches wsusou downloads have cryptic names, so wsusou list them in a cvs-file with an identification number provided in wsusscn2.cab. But I think when I completely reviewed [edit](it is still there)[/edit] the wsusou source code, there was some code searching the files using the KB number, so just try to copy the update to .\client\o2k10\glb and start UpdateInstaller.

If the cleanup is enabled such rogue files will be removed on the next run. But even without cleanup the WSUSOU will not pick them up.

If you add the KB Number to StaticUpdateIds-XXX.txt, wsusou will recognize it.
It searches all files in the client directory (see ListUpdatesToInstall.cmd

Code: Select all

    if not exist "%TEMP%\Update.txt" (
      for %%k in (%OFC_NAME% ofc o2k3 o2k7 o2k10) do (
        for %%l in (%OFC_LANG% glb) do (
          call ListUpdateFile.cmd %%i ..\%%k\%%l
        )
      )
    )


and ListUpdateFile.cmd

Code: Select all

if /i "%3"=="/searchleftmost" (
  dir /A:-D /B /OD %2\%1*.* >"%TEMP%\Update.txt" 2>nul
) else (
  dir /A:-D /B /OD %2\*%1*.* >"%TEMP%\Update.txt" 2>nul
)


)
And it won't delete the files when the links are set as static download link even with enabled "/cleanup" option. (see DownloadUpdates.cmd

Code: Select all

if exist "%TEMP%\ValidStaticLinks-%1-%2.txt" (
  type "%TEMP%\ValidStaticLinks-%1-%2.txt" >>"%TEMP%\ValidLinks-%1-%2.txt"
)
if exist "%TEMP%\ValidDynamicLinks-%1-%2.txt" (
  type "%TEMP%\ValidDynamicLinks-%1-%2.txt" >>"%TEMP%\ValidLinks-%1-%2.txt"
)
for /F %%i in ('dir ..\client\%1\%2 /A:-D /B') do (
  if exist "%TEMP%\ValidLinks-%1-%2.txt" (
    %SystemRoot%\system32\find.exe /I "%%i" "%TEMP%\ValidLinks-%1-%2.txt" >nul 2>&1
    if errorlevel 1 (
      del ..\client\%1\%2\%%i
      echo %DATE% %TIME% - Info: Deleted ..\client\%1\%2\%%i >>%DOWNLOAD_LOGFILE%
    )
  ) else (
    del ..\client\%1\%2\%%i
    echo %DATE% %TIME% - Info: Deleted ..\client\%1\%2\%%i >>%DOWNLOAD_LOGFILE%
  )
)


)

I know that. My post only refers to the quote above it, and simply copying the files into the ./client directory will not do anything without additional work.
Personally, I have some custom updates included, like the exFAT package for XP. I know how it works.

Oh sorry, than I misunderstood your post, because I already said, that realtebo needs to add the line to that file.

It searches all files in the client directory (see ListUpdatesToInstall.cmd

I went into windows update, using rapid (not cutom) method, and i found this kb 'missing': http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2798897

I open client/static/StaticUpdateIds-wxp-x86.txt file

it's empty.

I add a single row, a single number: 2798897 and i save

I download the file (it's called rvkroot.exe).
I save into cilent/static/custom without renaming.

Obiously, I understand that UpdateInstall need some how to know which file match the 2798897.
In fact, I re-run installation OFFLINE and NO new upate were installed.

How to proceed? What is the mistake i'm doing ?

Now I do a second test:

I open wsusoffline/static/StaticDownloadLinks-win-x86-glb.txt

I added the full link of the fill to download:

Code: Select all

http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/5/5/655D2A75-0199-49BF-8BF8-C9ACACF283C3/rvkroots.exe

I re-run update (without 'cleanup download directory').

I didn't se any new download done.

I re-run UpdateInstall into xp and NOTHING has been installed.

I re-run microsot update and this KB is suggest as important to download. SO it's not installed.

What's the problem !?!!?!

Thanks for help and patience

Did you terminate the lines you inserted with a Carriage Return and a Line Feed (CR+LF, 0x=D0A)?
