Hi all!

I use WSUSoffline for some months no to stay away from the M$-Update tools taking hours to complete (OK, I block lots of telemetry servers via my router :-)

), works fine under Windows 7. But I wanted to do the downloads in the future under Linux (opensuse) and so I started to day by downloading the updates for Win 7, worked fine.

But afterwards I wanted to add the updates for Office 2007 and Office 2010 (language deu), in both cases it downloaded 0 (zero) updates. As I was convinced this could not be correct, I chose now ALL Office versions:

Code: Select all: ######################################################################### ### WSUS Offline Update Downloader for Linux systems ### ### v. 10.7.3 ### ### ### ### http://www.wsusoffline.net/ ### ### Authors: Tobias Breitling, Stefan Joehnke, Walter Schiessberg ### ### maintained by H. Hullen ### ######################################################################### Your choice System: ofc Language: deu Parameter: Proxy: none

...and now it's downloading 910 patches.

What's wrong with the selective download for 2007 and 2010?

Many thanks in advance and kind regards

The script DownloadUpdates.sh tries too many things in parallel:

If it is called without command-line arguments, it will start an interactive setup.
If it is called with an update and language, it will only download patches for that Office/Windows version.
If the built-in list "ofc" is used, it will recursively call itself with each of the updates.

This makes it difficult to understand the flow of control and the internal processing of parameters. Last time I tried, I came to the conclusion:

TL;DR
There are several major omissions in the processing of parameters, if the interactive setup is used. "ofc" for dynamic office updates is not used, and the language locales are not defined.

It works better, if you pass the update and language directly on the command-line:

Code: Select all: ./DownloadUpdates.sh o2k7 deu ./DownloadUpdates.sh o2k10 deu

Still, 910 patches are far too much. It should be less than 300 patches for all Office updates. I assume, that superseded updates are not evaluated correctly.

Hello!

Many thanks fro the quick reply!

I tried now (on the same WSUS directory I updated yesterday via GUI) the CL update:

But again (still?) I have these 910 patches. Should I start with a fresh WSUS from the scratch?

I don't think, this will change much, since the script still calculates the number of 910 updates.
