Hi, my OS is windows 8.1 64X, I downloaded 2.99 GB update files via wsusoffline including kb4012213 which is released in 2017 and its a security update.
Whenever I run UpdateInstaller.exe I get this output:

Why it only check updates untill Nov. 2014?
Any help would be appreciated.

To make it short: something failed while copying or parsing the catalog

C:\Users\masoud\Downloads\Compressed\wsusoffline\client\cmd\ListMissingUpdateIds.vbs(65, 3) (null): The system cannot find the file specified.

Firsr a few questions:
What is your TEMP-path (%temp%)?
Does the Admin-user and the internal SYSTEM-account have read and write access to it?
Is the catalog file (.\client\wsus\wsusscn2.cab) digitally signed?
Could you post the change date of the catalog file?
Do you run wsusou with verification enabled or disabled? If you enabled it, please post the content of .\client\md\hashes-wsus.txt here.

Additional informations
To prevent to reboot the pc many times I lunched UpdateInstaller.exe several times without rebooting my pc until it started to tell me there is no more updates and now even after I reboot my pc UpdateInstaller.exe doesnt recognize downloaded updates. Now I know what i did was a mistake and I know why it was a mistake. But I don't know if my mistake leaded situation to this.

How to check the signature:
Right-click the file, select properties, Digital Signature.
There should be two; double click them and check, if Windows tells you, whether its valid or not.

Digital signature is okay.

Could you then please post the content of c:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log?
Maybe you need to upload the file somewhere an post a link here.

Sure, I uploaded WindowsUpdate.log here https://ufile.io/5rhvo

We'll try with resetting WindowsUpdate:

Open an administrative Command Prompt and enter this command:

Code: Select all

net stop wuauserv

Retry if it fails.

As soon as Windows Update has been stopped, delete the content of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution (just the content, not the folder itself).

Now reboot and retry.

If it doesn't help, try: http://aka.ms/diag_wu

although http://aka.ms/diag_wu fixed few things, problem still exists

Do you have a report of the Windows Update troubleshooter?

Else ru this command in an administrative command prompt:

Code: Select all

sfc /scannow

Then reboot
