Do you use the custom download lists from cababs? Then kb2919355 can be found in the files
- Code: Select all
static/custom/StaticDownloadLinks-w63-x86-glb.txt
line 22: http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/E/C/4EC66C83-1E15-43FD-B591-63FB7A1A5C04/Windows8.1-KB2919355-x86.msu

You could edit out these custom links.
Or create a file ../exclude/custom/ExcludeListForce-all.txt to exclude kb2919355 from both static and dynamic download lists.
Spoiler alert: technical discussion follows, only for maintainers and moderators
Actually, kb2919355 seems to be part of a Service Pack (or a similar update pack for Windows 8.1), and such updates are treated specially. The download of Service Packs can be switched on and off with the option "Include Service Packs" in the UpdateGenerator.exe. Service Packs are installed on demand by the UpdateInstaller.exe.
Controlling Service Packs like that requires several steps:
- They are excluded from dynamically created download lists with the file ../exclude/ExcludeList-w63-x64.txt (in case of kb2919355).
- They are included in statically defined download lists with the file ../static/StaticDownloadLinks-w63-x64-glb.txt.
- They are also listed in the file ../exclude/ExcludeList-SPs.txt. This list will be applied to statically defined download lists, if the option "Include Service Packs" in UpdateGenerator.exe is not checked.
- The UpdateInstaller.exe also needs some hints, to install Service Packs on demand. In this case, 2919355 can be found in ../client/static/StaticUpdateIds-w63-upd1.txt.
But the configuration for kb2919355 seems to be inconsistent, because the entries in the files ../exclude/ExcludeList-w63-x64.txt and ../static/StaticDownloadLinks-w63-x64-glb.txt are missing.
There is an entry for kb2919355 in the file ../exclude/ExcludeList-SPs.txt, but this file is applied to statically defined download lists only. But kb2919355 is actually downloaded using dynamically created download lists, so
disabling the option "Include Service Packs" will not work for this file.
Since Service Packs are usually included in the file package.xml, it might be useful to apply the ExcludeList-SP.txt to dynamically defined updates as well.
