Hi

Trying to use WSUSOffline on a WinXP SP3 machine to download all updates for WinXP (German) including everything (see this picture for the settings) results in the following log

Code: Select all

- I've deleted ...\client\md\hashes*.txt and re-run the download - still not working.

- I've also checked if MSXML6 or MSXML3 is present on my system - both are present, still not working

- I've verify the existence and functionality of %systemroot%\system32\expand.exe - it's there and it's working

- I've checked for the missing RegKeys which were the culprit in this case - they are there

So yea, help would really be appreciated

Please open a command promt and enter the following commands

Code: Select all

cd "<your wsusou dir>\cmd"
DownloadUpdates.cmd wxp deu /includedotnet /includemsse /includewddefs /verify /exitonerror


Then let the program do its job.
When it crashes, the command prompt should stay open. The show a screenshot of the last lines, so we can find the line, where the program crashes.
Also please clear the "%temp%"-folder before starting the download. After it crashes, please give a list of the files inside the "%temp%"-folder.

[edit]
Please verify, that "sort.exe" works.
[/edit]

Forgot to mention that I cleared the %temp% folder, my bad
Here's the content of it after WSUSOU failed

Code: Select all

Here's a screenshot of the CMD after it crashes when manually executing the DownloadUpdates.cmd with the switches you said

Is there a file called "ExcludList-superseded.txt" in the exclude-directory of wsusou, if not, what happens, if you try to run this command?

Code: Select all

cscript //Nologo //B //E:vbs XSLT.vbs "%TEMP%\package.xml" ..\xslt\ExtractUpdateRevisionIds.xsl "%TEMP%\ValidUpdateRevisionIds.txt"


You need to run this from command line and run the "cd"-command from my last post.

[edit]Please check for new files in "%temp%"[/edit]

There's only a "ExcludeList-superseded-exclude.txt" in the exclude directory. After running your command, my %temp% folder looks like this

Code: Select all

 Verzeichnis von C:\DOKUME~1\CHRIST~1\LOKALE~1\Temp

And WSUSOU still shows the same error

Please try a download run with antivirus disabled, would not be the first time an antivirus is blocking some files while scanning them.

Sorry, not using any Snake-Oil

Hi.

"Determining superseded updates" requires huge XML / Text file operations.
Maybe your XP machine is too small for these - how much RAM does it have?

To debug the break, pls.
- Edit DownloadUpdates.cmd
- Search for "Determining superseded updates"
- Below the line you find, enter a new line

Code: Select all

@echo on

- Save the file
- Execute a new download attempt using the command line (see above)

Let's see what happens...

@WSUSUpdateAdmin
Because of the files in the temporary directory I would say, that wsusou hangs at this line:

Code: Select all

%CSCRIPT_PATH% //Nologo //B //E:vbs XSLT.vbs "%TEMP%\package.xml" ..\xslt\ExtractUpdateRevisionIds.xsl "%TEMP%\ValidUpdateRevisionIds.txt"

Ah, okay,
so please (re-)install MSXML 6.0 SP1 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... px?id=6276) and MSXML 4.0 SP3 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=15697).
Maybe they are damaged...
