v. 11.8.3 - Error: Download failure for w61-x64 glb

Hello

I am on a Windows 7 Professional client logged on with an account with admin privileges and am trying to download all the updates for Windows 7.

I have used WSUS Offline successfully in the past but have encountered an error I am unable to fix. Suggestions for a fix from the forum do not seem to be applicable so I would like to request some help with this, please.

When I launch the generator I choose the Legacy Windows tab and select

Windows 7 x64 global
Verify downloaded updates
Include service packs

When I click Start the following is output:

When I first tried this I had included the C++ and .NET option, but one 'solution' I saw recommended unchecking that but it makes no difference. Other solutions have recommended changing the URL to the .NET files but the original URL does not exist in the .\static folder in the StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet.txt file, the contents of which are:

Can anyone help me with this, please?

Thank you.

Are you behind some kind of proxy? If so, you have to set that proxy in WSUS Offline too.

Hi, Dalai

Thank you for replying. Ten seconds after I submitted my question I realised I had not checked the firewall log. Our firewall is set to block by default and it had blocked wget64.exe. I allowed it through the firewall and everything sprang into action.

Cheers :)
