WsusOffline CE 12.2 is broken on Server 2012 R2

I hope this is the correct place to post these issues. Thankyou for keeping wsusoffline alive.

12.0 CE works correctly.
12.2 CE works correctly on 2012, 2016 and 2019.
Interestingly, a fully patched 2012 r2 server doesn't have this issue. Clearly the test isn't getting an answer it likes / can handle.
Hopefully this is an easy fix.

Thankyou in advance.

regards

Robert

Could you run .\client\cmd\DetermineSystemProperties.vbs and post the content of WOUSystemProperties.txt stored on your desktop here?
If it throws some error, please post it, too.

In my opinion, this should be related to a registry value, which is tested for existance, but not handled as it should. I‘ll take a look at it.

I think, I found the issue. I don‘t need any further information anymore.

:arrow: https://gitlab.com/wsusoffline/wsusoffline/-/commit/4de8b993f82652659b6458346d240b3e224a93c1

To fix the issue, open .\client\cmd\DetermineSystemProperties.vbs and find the following line:
Code: Select all
  If RegExists(strRegKeyWindowsVersion, strRegValUBR) Then

Replace it with
Code: Select all
  If RegExists(wshShell, strRegKeyWindowsVersion & strRegValUBR) Then

This should fix the issue.

Thanks for your report. I look forward to your feedback after applying it.

I can confirm your fix worked :D

Some other items I found that need addressing:

StaticUpdateIds-w62-dotnet35-seconly.txt
kb4552963,May 2020 Security only update for the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows Server 2012
should be
kb4552966,May 2020 Security only update for the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows Server 2012

StaticUpdateIds-w100-17763-dotnet4-528049.txt
kb4569776,August 2020 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 4.8 for Windows 10 version 1809 and Windows Server 2019
should be
kb4569750,August 2020 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 4.8 for Windows 10 version 1809 and Windows Server 2019

Thank you for your efforts.

Are you sure with the changes?

If I search for the KB-numbers in the catalog they resolve to this:

kb4552963 = 2020-05 Security Only Update for .NET Framework 3.5 for Windows Server 2012 for x64 (KB4552963)
kb4552966 = 2020-05 Security Only Update for .NET Framework 3.5 for Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 for x64 (KB4552966)
So the file „StaticUpdateIds-w62-dotnet35-seconly.txt“ is correct

kb4569776 = 2020-08 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7.2 for Windows 10 Version 1809 for x64 (KB4569776)
kb4569750 = 2020-08 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10 Version 1809 for x64 (KB4569750)
So the file „StaticUpdateIds-w100-17763-dotnet4-528049.txt“ (which is for .NET 3.5 and 4.8) should be correct, too.

Ouch, I screwed up the first one. I'm sorry.

In StaticUpdateIds-w100-17763-dotnet4-528049.txt you have the 4.72 patch (kb4569776) included rather than the 4.8 patch (kb4569750).
StaticUpdateIds-w100-17763-dotnet.txt has the correct kb4569776 patch.

Our lives would be so much better if they consolidated the mess that is .net patching.

Thank you for double checking.

regards
Robert
