Message - Warning: Update XXX is not found

Hi guys,

I'm new and have a question about updating Office 2013.

I have added a few Office updates manually by using the static list. They get downloaded ok, however, when I run UpdateInstaller, WOU cannot find them and gives me the following error messages

Code: Select all

Mon 02/01/2017 10:42:56.31 - Warning: Update kb3205402 (id: f8938e57-3bdd-411e-8bdd-38ebbac1db50) not found

I spent a signficiant amount of time trying to fix this but to no avail.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the link.

I tried this, but there's no change. Here's what i've done as per the page:

1. Added the links to .\static\custom\StaticDownloadLinks-o2k13-glb.txt

This downloaded the files to .\client\o2k13\glb\ as:

Code: Select all

excelpp-x-none_1dc03ce7f25ee67eab66d3ea8d39e40ca9fdd7c9.cab
excel-x-none_a10f3e7cfa79dda800b5f005eb39fcd9d0d04844.cab
...


2. Added KB numbers to .\client\static\custom\StaticUpdateIds-o2k13.txt as:

Code: Select all

3128004
3127967
3127975
3101489
3114490
3128008
3127968
3128020
3128022
3128024


3. However, the errors remain exactly the same as before:

Code: Select all

Warning: Update kb3128004 not found.
...


What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks!

That's because the KB-Ids and FileNames need to be "translated" for the installation part. For its own updates, wsusou automatically generates this "translation" database, but for manually added, I'd suggest you to rename them to a filename, which contains the KB-Number. Example .\static\custom\StaticDownloadLinks-o2k13-glb.txt:

Code: Select all

http://this/is/my/download/link/excel-x-none_someSHA1here.cab, excel-x-none_KB1234567_stillsomeSHA1here.cab
...


Then wsusou will auto-rename the files.

Great, I'd give it a go.

Just taking a suggestion from your other response today - would not it be easier to use FinalizationHook.cmd, instead of manually retyping filenames as you are suggesting above?

Thanks

I'd do it this way. Cause the you could use wsusou's reboot, recall and error-management.
