One reference is the page "platform codes" at viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3848
These are the codes for all Windows versions since Windows Vista:
- Code: Select all
w60 Windows Vista / Windows Server 2008, 32-bit
w60-x64 Windows Vista / Windows Server 2008, 64-bit
w61 Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2, 32-bit
w61-x64 Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2, 64-bit
w62 Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012, 32-bit
w62-x64 Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012, 64-bit
w63 Windows 8.1 / Windows Server 2012 R2, 32-bit
w63-x64 Windows 8.1 / Windows Server 2012 R2, 64-bit
The language for these Windows versions is always "glb", since Windows Vista and later use global, multilingual updates. So the basic command to run is always:
- Code: Select all
DownloadUpdates.cmd w60 glb
DownloadUpdates.cmd w60-x64 glb
DownloadUpdates.cmd w61 glb
DownloadUpdates.cmd w61-x64 glb
DownloadUpdates.cmd w62 glb
DownloadUpdates.cmd w62-x64 glb
DownloadUpdates.cmd w63 glb
DownloadUpdates.cmd w63-x64 glb
Actually, there are some localized files for Windows Vista and 7, like localized installers for Internet Explorer. These downloads must be enabled with the accompanying script AddCustomLanguageSupport.cmd. For example, to include localized French downloads, you need to run:
- Code: Select all
AddCustomLanguageSupport.cmd fra
Valid language codes for the script AddCustomLanguageSupport.cmd are: fra esn jpn kor rus ptg ptb nld ita chs cht plk hun csy sve trk ell ara heb dan nor fin
Note, that German and English updates are always included, so these languages can't be added with AddCustomLanguageSupport.cmd. The meaning of all known language codes is:
- Code: Select all
option locale Language name
enu en English
deu de German
nld nl Dutch
esn es Spanish
fra fr French
ptg pt Portuguese
ptb pt-br Portuguese (Brasil)
ita it Italian
rus ru Russian
plk pl Polish
ell el Greek
csy cs Czech
dan da Danish
nor no Norwegian
sve sv Swedish
fin fi Finnish
jpn ja Japanese
kor ko Korean
chs zh-cn Chinese
cht zh-tw Chinese (Taiwan)
hun hu Hungarian
trk tr Turkish
ara ar Arabic
heb he Hebrew
glb Global (multilingual)
This is also discussed in the thread "Global win7 64 downloading german" at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1236
Then there are some additional downloads:
- Code: Select all
/includedotnet Include .NET Frameworks
/includewle Include Windows Essentials 2012, aka Windows Live Essentials
/includemsse Include Microsoft Security Essentials (installers and definition updates)
/includewddefs Include Windows Defender definition updates
Not all optional downloads are available for all Windows versions. For Windows 7, you can add all optional downloads:
- Code: Select all
DownloadUpdates.cmd w61 glb /includedotnet /includewle /includemsse /includewddefs
Other options:
- Code: Select all
/excludesp This option excludes Service Packs from the download, but it also deletes existing Service Packs.
The problem with the UpdateGenerator is, that it automatically selects the option "Verify Downloads". This is the first option in the lower left part of the window. The corresponding command line option is /verify. But don't try this now; it is currently broken and needs to be fixed.
