I have installed WSUS 6.8.4. Ran UpdateGenerator.exe and UpdateInstaller.exe. All updates have been downloaded sucessfully. I request and ISO Image be created. An error message indicating "Utility ..\bin\mkisofs.exe not found" is displayed. How do I resolve?

Thank you in advance.

Hi and welcome, gardellajm,

mkisofs.exe should have been downloaded automatically.
Please re-run download to eliminate a possible temporary problem.
You may also check the download log (...\log\download.log) for errors.

I checked the log and found:

. . .Starting WSUS offline update download (v. 6.8.4) for ofc glb (found the same for all product selections)
. . .Info: option /includedotnet detected
. . .Info: option /includemsse detected

. . .

Removed /skipmkisofs option from the . . for %%1 in (. . . statement in the ./cmd/downloadUpdates.cmd file.

mkisofs.exe was copied to the correct directory. And I was able to create an ISO image.

Is that the correct resolution to the problem or should something else be done?

Thanks again.

I assume that you downloaded without ISO option, then tried to create an ISO afterwards using CreateISOImage.cmd.
That's why mkisofs.exe wasn't present.
You didn't need to modify the code, but anyway, once mkisofs.exe is present, it won't be deleted, so yes, you're done now.
