vc_redist.x86.exe failed

[steadyrain]

Hello all, first time poster and have used and donated before though. I'm getting this error:

Code: Select all

Warning: Download of http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/2/F/42FF78CE-8DE0-4C88-AD7A-5F8DFFB49F74/vc_redist.x86.exe failed

Should I just try again? I'm not the most savvy at this. All help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello steadyrain,

Please update WSUS Offline Update to the latest version (10.7.3). The download links for the VC redistributables have been changed.

Hello Gerby, thanks for the reply. The version that I have is the 10.7.3. Unless it was updated in the past day and kept the v. number, I don't think it's any different??

The Downloadlink for VC was changed in trunk r809. It is not yet released in a new Version.

The trunk can be downloaded via : http://trac.wsusoffline.net/changeset/809/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip

The new links are delivered by downloading http://download.wsusoffline.net/StaticDownloadFiles-modified.txt to .\static. Or have you the option /skipsdd enabled?

At the moment .\static\StaticDownloadFiles-modified.txt should contain:

Code: Select all

http://download.wsusoffline.net/StaticDownloadLinks-cpp-x64-glb.txt
http://download.wsusoffline.net/StaticDownloadLinks-cpp-x86-glb.txt

Thank you for the quick responses. I have to admit that I'm a newb when it comes to commands and strictly utilitarian. I can do what you tell me to if explained.

PSJ, I've downloaded this. Do I need to run this along with WSUS? How do I use this? Thank you

Harry, thanks for your response. Do I just cut and paste this in the command prompt somehow?

This is pretty embarrassing. I would be grateful for more guidance. Apologize for being so c-prompt illiterate everyone....

Also, when WSUS is finished it opens a dialog box asking if I want to check the log for warnings. After that nothing happens; I check the updates and nothing was done. Is this attributable/symptomatic to my situation?

Maybe the download sequence doesn't work properly in general on your computer.

Could you post the lines from the last download (look on time and date) of your download log file, i.e. .\log\download.log (where . is your wsusoffline directory)?

[hbuhrmester]

The "update of static download definitions" (sdd) sometimes fails on new installations, if the file modification dates were not preserved during installation.

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5448#p17871

In this case, the file wsusoffline\static\StaticDownloadFiles-modified.txt references five new files. But these files are only downloaded and installed, if the files on the server are newer than the local files.

The download log does not always show the reason. Also look at the last messages in the command prompt window. It may say something like:

Server file no newer than local file `../static/StaticDownloadLinks-sysinternals.txt' -- not retrieving.

A simple fix for now might be to rename (or delete) the files:

Code: Select all

wsusoffline\static\StaticDownloadLinks-cpp-x64-glb.txt
wsusoffline\static\StaticDownloadLinks-cpp-x86-glb.txt
wsusoffline\static\StaticDownloadLinks-w62-x64-glb.txt
wsusoffline\static\StaticDownloadLinks-w63-x64-glb.txt
wsusoffline\static\StaticDownloadLinks-w63-x86-glb.txt

and try, if they are properly updated on the next run.

I'd like to, unfortunately the forum won't let me upload that much text. Is there a specific portion of the log that you need???

[steadyrain]

I'm pretty sure I didn't see this the last time I tried =====>

and try, if they are properly updated on the next run.

How exactly do I cut and paste this into the command window? Everything was moving so fast during the process. Thanks
