Hi

when i have generated updates, is it safe to run Updates Generator again within the same directory setup - in that it will ignore updates it already has and only update newer ones? or do i have to start from scratch?

thanks

It actually is meant to be run on the same setup again, to add new updates, and remove superseded ones. Starting from scratch every time would be a big waste of resources.

ok thanks for that

I did run it and verifying/downloading whizzed through and i seen one saying something along the lines of "not newer than local copy at...." so obviously is best to keep running the same copy

great

I was just worried that it may start making 2nd,3rd,4th copies of everything etc every time I ran the Generator

thanks again

oh and one last question...

if I uncheck say office 2013 then run it again will it delete the office 2013 updates making the size of the folder smaller?


thanks again

actually i tried it and it does not work....after completion the Office 2013k product is checked again in the generator and folder size remains the same

Unchecking products does not delete their updates, it just prevents them from being processed further. However, unchecking components (like Service Packs) will delete the corresponding files, if the "Cleanup" option is activated.

ok thanks for letting me know - i recreated without office updates and saved 1Gb in size...
