How to exclude IE 11?

[Karthigan]

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: viewtopic.php?p=18095#p18095

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".

Thanks, I appreciate the help. Sorry, I am new to this tool, and I am trying to figure out things one at a time.

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

I tryed "updateinstaller.exe /skipieinst" but the IE11 was also installed.
