Hello karn,

Welcome to the forums. Could you please be more specific about the problem or error. For example, an extract from C:\Windows\wsusofflineupdate.log would help us (please use [/code] tag).

And: Windows XP is not supported anymore by WSUS Offline Update. So maybe you're stumbling over this, when the Updater starts? I don't know if this is queried by the updater when you use an Office-only ISO. :?

Greetings
Gerby

The installer flat-out refuses to do anything under XP with "unsupported OS".

Youncan try the following: edit DoUpdate.cmd and replace
Code: Select all
if "%OS_NAME%"=="wxp" goto UnsupOS
(line 122) with
Code: Select all
rem if "%OS_NAME%"=="wxp" goto UnsupOS
. I did not test this modification, it just bypasses the check, it may cause wsusou to crash.
