Hi,
First of all, I wanted to thank the community for the creation / development of this tool.
Secondly, in our corporate environment, we have to maintain IE 9 for backward compatibility, therefore, we need to exclude IE 11 from the updates.
We are running x64 version of Windows 7, with SP1 already.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks.

There's already a solution in the trunk versions. The parameter /skipieinst and the 'skipieinst' INI-value should take care of your demand.
Here's the post from Admin mentioning this:

Thanks...
So, I am presuming that I download the latest version of the WSUS Offline Update Tool, and pass the command-line parameter /skipieinst, and that's it?

In the next version of WSUSOU just add "skipieinst=Enabled" to .\client\UpdateInstaller.ini.
If a line "skipieinst=Disabled" exists, change "Disabled" to "Enabled".

Hi, in the interim, if I want to avoid IE 11, can I edit the "doupdate.ini" configuration file located under: wsusoffline\client\cmd for the following lines?
if %IE_VER_MAJOR% LSS %IE_VER_TARGET_MAJOR% goto InstallIE
if %IE_VER_MAJOR% GTR %IE_VER_TARGET_MAJOR% goto SkipIEInst
if %IE_VER_MINOR% LSS %IE_VER_TARGET_MINOR% goto InstallIE
if %IE_VER_MINOR% GTR %IE_VER_TARGET_MINOR% goto SkipIEInst
if %IE_VER_BUILD% LSS %IE_VER_TARGET_BUILD% goto InstallIE
if %IE_VER_BUILD% GTR %IE_VER_TARGET_BUILD% goto SkipIEInst
if %IE_VER_REVIS% GEQ %IE_VER_TARGET_REVIS% goto SkipIEInst
change all the ending values to: goto SkipIEInst
That should work, correct? Give, that any condition met, it will skip the installation of IE?

Easier: find
- Code: Select all
echo Checking Internet Explorer version...
and replace it with
- Code: Select all
goto SkipIEInst
