Windows 8 Pro

[mhaxx]

When I launch UpdateInstaller.exe it returns the error msg "Unsupported operating system WIN_8"

Why?

It's Windows 8 Pro.. (32 bit, ita)

Which Version of WSUSOU?

Please see:

Version 10.4 -- 01.02.16
- Support removed for Windows 8 (w62 x86) since Microsoft discontinued support for it on January 12, 2016 (see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lif ... Windows-81)
[...]

You can upgrade your system to Windows 8.1 (via Microsoft Store) or try WSUSOU version 10.3.2 (Archive), which is the last one supporting Windows 8.

I've just downloaded: WSUS Offiline Update 10.7.3 - Generator

Isn't it the last version? does it support Windows 8?

[harry]

WSUSOU v10.4 and later don't support Windows 8 anymore, see my last answer.

Ok, I've just installed 10.3.2 and it runs!

But when I start to update it returns:

Does your WOU repository contain the directory .\client\w62 ?
Please post the content of .\UpdateGenerator.ini in [code] tags.

No, but there's:

.\client\w63\glb

Let me underline that I have problem with the usual "Windows Update" (error 8007000E from some weeks).

[harry]

.\client\w63\glb is for Windows 8.1 (32 bit).

Please unmark Windows 8.1 (see screenshot 1) and mark Windows 8 x86 Global (see screenshot 2).
Then run UpdateGenerator again.

Ok, it worked and updated about 13 updates. How can I know if all the updates are done, am I sure that if I could run the usual Windows Update it'd not give any other update?

I can't verify because of Windows Update message error (80070000E)

WU would possibly give other updates, as WSUSOU does only contain security-critical ones.

You really should upgrade to Windows 8.1 for free. It's still supported. Windows 8.0 is not and your system is in danger.
