Hi,
I need to include the installation of kb890830 (Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT)) in WSUSOU for Windows Vista,7,8 and 8.1
I checked the FAQ, and as instructed I searched the exclude files for Vista,7,8 and 8.1 but only found kb890830 listed in the Windows 7 files.
How can I enable the MSRT download/installation for all versions of Windows?
Thanks

It is nearly impossible, as the link changes every month and there is no catalog file, listing it's current version and download link.
You may paste the download link from the MS Download Center into .\static\custom\StaticDownloadLinks-win-glb.txt (create it, if it does not exist), but then you have to update it with every new version.

Thanks again aker, updating every month is fine by me,
So I just add it to .\static\custom\StaticDownloadLinks-win-glb.txt and it will install for all versions of Windows?
Since it's excluded by default, is there any other modification to make?
There is a 32 and 64bit version, will WSUSOU make the difference?
Thanks for you help

Sorry, the file name should be ...-win-x86-glb.txt.
For the intallation part:
Write the file name (without ".exe") into .\client\static\custom\StaticUpdateIds-<platform>-<x86/x64>.txt.
Do this for all Windows versions.
