Hi,

I'm first time user of program WSUS Offline Updater.
I have version 7.5 installed.
My other,, main computer is not connected to internet and i want to ask, is it possible to download Windows 8 updates with WSUS updater and if, how ?
They recommend this program also for Windows 8 , but i don't see any options to select Windows 8.

Thanks for any kind of information,

You are probably using the release version 7.5. That version doesn't support Windows 6.2 (Windows 8+Server2012), you would need to wait for the next release (8.0).

Alternatively, you may use the so called trunk version, this one already includes Windows 8. This post tells you how.

Thanks for the reply and this info.
I guess i'll wait for official new release then.

I have missed your second link, "to easy solution" and i'm able to see now also Windows 8 updates download option.
I have download this .cab file into , client-wsus directory.
Which .exe should i run now to install that cab file and update, Updateinstaller from client directory ?

I have download this .cab file into , client-wsus directory.

It's more than one already. You're supposed to re-run downloading after a patchday (e. g. tomorrow night) to refresh/update the repository.

Which .exe should i run now to install that cab file and update, Updateinstaller from client directory ?

If you didn't select to create an ISO or copied to a USB drive, you could share the ./client directory with the target machine over the nework (with a few restrictions). Yes, the UpdateInstaller.exe is the correct one, but it must be run on the target machine. The most common usage of WSUSOU is to create an ISO you burn onto a DVD±RW and use on the target.

Thanks for this additional, very helpful information.
