Did you download all updates for XP/Server 2003 x64 using UpdateGenerator?

[radkins]

Yes I did but it took about 20 plus attempts before it connected to the download server...

Also-- The way I did it was copied the client folder to DVD....then copied the folder to the target computer C:\client...ran the installer from there and go the error..I also got the error when running from an ISO image...

Looks like it didn't download all files correctly. Probably the signature validation killed some corrupted files. If you re-run the download, does it fetch further files?

@WSUSUpdateAdmin
Could you add a warning in UpdateGenerator, if one file fails to download, so you don't need to take a look at download.log?

I am having this same error. I have attempted the download a dozen times, all with the same issue. Has anyone found a workaround for this?

Hi!

One of the common workarounds is, to temporarily disable the antivirus protection during download (e.g. only for network scanning if available).

Good afternoon,
My antivirus was disabled when I downloaded the Offline Updater. I am trying to update an offline installation of Office 2007 on a laptop that cannot touch the internet. The download happens without issue, and creates the USB option as requested. WHen I copy the directory to my thumb drive for transfer to my latop that cannot touch the internet, there are no files excluded. When I run the UpdateInstaller.exe, a cmd window opens, and it lists a dozen or so commend line entries. One of the last lines says
"Checking WIndows Update Agent version...

ERROR: File ..\w61-x64\glb\WindowsUpdateAgent*-64.exe not found."

When I look for the file listed above, it is in the Offline Updater folder under the wsus folder. Any other ideas as to what is happening? I need to get this completed in the next couple of days. Thanks!

@Kettenhund
Did you download updates for Windows 7 x64?
To fix this, please edit .\client\cmd\SetTargetEnvVars.cmd and replace the line (should be line 149)

Code: Select all

set WUA_VER_TARGET_REVIS=320

with

Code: Select all

set WUA_VER_TARGET_REVIS=226

(just replace the 320 with 226).
Also replace

Code: Select all

set WUA_VER_TARGET_MINOR=6

with

Code: Select all

set WUA_VER_TARGET_MINOR=4

Then install .\client\wsus\WindowsUpdateAgent3.0-x64.exe.
Now wsusou should work as expected.

@WSUSUpdateAdmin
This happens, when wsusou runs on an w61 machine with old WUA, and when no w61 updates are downloaded.
DoUpdate.cmd should check, if the newer WUA exists in the w61*-folder and use the "old" one, if no updates for w61 were downloaded. Also wsusou should accept WUA 7.6.7600.226 when no .320 file has been downloaded.

375 if "%OS_NAME%"=="w61" (
376 if /i "%OS_ARCH%"=="x64" (
377 set WUA_FILENAME=..\%OS_NAME%-%OS_ARCH%\glb\WindowsUpdateAgent*-%OS_ARCH%.exe
378 ) else (
379 set WUA_FILENAME=..\%OS_NAME%\glb\WindowsUpdateAgent*-%OS_ARCH%.exe
380 )
381 ) else (
382 set WUA_FILENAME=..\wsus\WindowsUpdateAgent*-%OS_ARCH%.exe
383 )
