The Files For This Update Have Not Been Downloaded Yet, Offline Server

WSUS Offline tool allows y'all to update lab machines running Windows x, Server 2016 or Office 2016. You have to download Microsoft update only once from the internet and and then use WSUS Offline Tool to install it on all the lab machines. Without information technology needing to have an cyberspace connexion.

As I mentioned below, I don't recommend using this tool in any production environment. But it could be useful for some isolated lab environment if y'all don't have SCCM with software update bespeak (SUP). I will surely recommend SCCM and WSUS (patching guide) for lab environment if you already accept SCCM in your lab.

How WSUS Offline Tool Works?

WSUS Offline Update uses Microsoft's update catalog file wsusscn2.cab to dynamically determine the required patches. The wsusscn2.cab catalog file contains at least all the updates classified every bit "critical" and "security relevant", simply it does non necessarily incorporate all "important" and "optional" ones.

The disadvantage of this tool is that computers updated by WSUS Offline Update will hardly ever completely satisfy Microsoft'due south Online Update afterwards, but the patch coverage does completely satisfy Microsoft'due south Baseline Security Analyzer.

The WSUS Offline Update uses "Windows Update Amanuensis" (WUA) to determine the patches to install on customer/target side.

I don't recommend using WSUS Offline Tool for the production environment

Run WSUS Offline Tool

Launch UpdateInstaller.exe and select the updates which y'all want to download for offline updates. Once downloaded the updates then, you lot need to run following exe (UpdateInstaller.exe) from the client device where you want to install updates. I would recommend keeping CLIENT folder in a shared location then that you tin access it from many devices.

          CLIENT          C:\Users\Anoop\Downloads\wsusoffline113\wsusoffline\client\UpdateInstaller.exe        

There are options to minimize or hide the download progress screen (more details in the FAQ section below). Merely I love the status screen during download. This is going to take long time finish depending on the updates you have selected from the tool.

WSUS Offline Tool – FAQs

Q: How tin can I update "WSUS Offline Update" itself using WSUS Offline Tool ?
A: As long as release notes or installation hints don't recommend other, y'all may unpack a new version's archive (.zip) over/into an existing structure, if you let existing files be overwritten. Of class you may use the automatic self update functionality instead.

Q: Where are the downloaded update files stored – WSUS Offline Tool?
A: Every file which is required for the installation office is stored in the "client" subdirectory.

Q: Why are check boxes grayed out when I showtime UpdateInstaller.exe?
A: The bank check boxes' availability is dependent on platform, update medium and package installation land.

Q: During download or installation, I receive an fault indicating an invalid parcel.xml file. What can I do?
A: Your copy of Microsoft'due south update catalog file (…\client\wsus\wsusscn2.cab) seems to be corrupt. Please delete it and re-run the download process.

Q: Can I let the download WSUS Offline Tool window(s) stay in the background?
A: Yes. Please edit the UpdateGenerator.ini file and add an entry/line "minimizeondownload=Enabled" to the "[Miscellaneous]" section.

Q: Later on installation of patches using the WSUS Offline tool Update finished, an empty box without contents appears on every reboot. Only when I click "OK", the boot process continues.
A: It'southward uncertain at this fourth dimension what causes this behavior. Delight login as "Administrator" and cheque if the Windows registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" contains a value named "WSUSOfflineUpdate", or if the key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" contains values named "DeleteWOUTempAdminProfile" or "ShowOfflineUpdateLogFile". If they exist, delete them.
Should these entries do not be in the registry, this behavior was not caused by the Offline Updater. The WSUS Offline Updater team welcomes farther hints concerning this problem.

Q: During download, I receive a file integrity verification failure for WSUS Offline Tool. What can I do to resolve this?
A: If you're sure that the patch files in your repository weren't manipulated, you lot may delete the corresponding checksum files under …\client\md. They'll and then be recreated during the next download run.

Q: I miss IEx, .Cyberspace and MSSE installation files for my language. Why aren't they downloaded and what can I practise to take them downloaded?
A: Since Service Packs and updates for Windows Vista / seven / Server 2008(R2) are multilingual, in that location's no 24-language selection table for these platforms, and then by default, only the English language and German versions of those localized installation packages for IEx, .NET and MSSE will be downloaded.
To accept your favorite locale(s) downloaded in addition, yous may use the …\cmd\AddCustomLanguageSupport.cmd script.

Q: The determination of "superseded updates" takes more 15 minutes for WSUS Offline Tool. How tin I speed it upwards?
A: Some Anti-Virus-Scanners (peculiarly "Microsoft Security Essentials" (MSSE)) retard the required calculations. Yous may temporarily disable your AV scanner or ascertain an advisable exception.

Q: I miss the x64 versions of Office 2010 Service Pack 2 and Office 2013 Service Pack 1. How tin can I have them downloaded?
A: Delight phone call …\cmd\AddOffice2010x64Support.cmd {lng} once to add their URLs to your custom static download definitions (see directory …\static\custom).

Q: I don't need the German installation files for IEx, .Cyberspace and MSSE. How can I disable their downloads?
A: Please call …\cmd\RemoveGermanLanguageSupport.cmd once to remove their URLs from the static download definitions.

Q: Earlier the update installation, the system is checked to determine how many updates to be installed in i run max. Is there a parameter to specify this value?
A: The parameters tin be specified in the file …\client\cmd\custom\SetUpdatesPerStage.cmdt. It should not be less than the parameter "UPDATES_PER_STAGE" in the file \client\cmd\SetTargetEnvVars.cmd (currently 40). Smaller values are automatically corrected. After setting the stage limits, the file SetUpdatesPerStage.cmd must be renamed (cmd without t)!

Q: Can I download/install additional patches?
A: Yes, you tin can adjust how the download and update scripts behave by excluding or adding patches from download or installation. For adding updates continue every bit follows:

ane. Adding updates to download routines

For adding an update to exist downloaded, insert its download URL into the matching "StaticDownloadLinks-<platform>[-compages>]-<language>.txt file, found in the "…\static\custom" directory. Delight don't forget a trailing <CR><LF>.

2. Adding updates to installation routines

Add an update to installation by inserting its cognition base ID (KBxxxxxx or but xxxxxx) into the matching "StaticUpdateIds-[-].txt file (directory "…\client\static\custom"). Please don't forget a trailing .

Q: Can I skip the dynamic update determination during downloading/installation in order to use my static definitions only?
A: Yep.
To avoid dynamic update URL determination during download, add together "skipdynamic=Enabled" to the [Miscellaneous] section of your UpdateGenerator.ini file.
To avoid dynamic update ID determination during installation, set "skipdynamic=Enabled" in the [Installation] section of your UpdateInstaller.ini file.

Q: I already have the latest Service Pack for my selected OS and don't desire to have it downloaded again. Tin can I integrate information technology into the WSUS Offline Updater somehow?
A: Yes, if the following preconditions are met: Beginning, you have to put the file into the correct directory; for an XP-SP3 English, this would be ".\client\wxp\enu", for example. Additionally, the filename and the size have to friction match the properties on Microsoft's servers, in this case "WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe" with a size of 331,805,736 bytes. As the download uses "wget" with the "-N" option (timestamping), the local copy also must not be older than the copy on the Microsoft server.

Q: Can I integrate patches for products made by tertiary parties?
A: No, and there are no plans to add this. Patches from third parties commonly have completely unlike command line parameters which makes an integration problematic, if non impossible. Additionally, the Offline Update is meant for making a PC every bit secure as possible before going online. Updates from third parties tin and then be downloaded from their respective websites. Many 3rd party products offer some kind of motorcar-update mechanism to proceed themselves electric current, e. one thousand. Acrobat Reader, Firefox, Thunderbird, SUN Coffee Runtime, and others.

Q: Is it possible to automate the creation of the update media (CD/DVD images), with a scheduled job mayhap? If yes, how do I practise that?
A: Create a new batch file in the ".\cmd" directory, e. g. "DownloadUpdatesAndCreateISOImage.cmd". And then enter the desired calls to "DownloadUpdates.cmd" and "CreateISOImage.cmd" with the required options into this file. An example of such a file would be:

@repeat off call DownloadUpdates wxp enu call CreateISOImage wxp enu

Side by side, create a scheduled task for your new custom script "DownloadUpdatesAndCreateISOImage.cmd" and select the desired run fourth dimension. For example, if you intend to create new update media following each Microsoft Patchday, select "2d Midweek of every month".

Q: Can I beginning update installation from a shared network resource?
A: Yes, but you should merely use the "Automatic reboot and recall" feature, if the shared resources permits anonymous access. Otherwise the automated call up volition neglect, because the share won't be accessible for the temporary administrator account "WOUTempAdmin".
If the network share doesn't have a drive letter assigned to, the "UpdateInstaller" script will automatically practice a drive mapping, because cmd.exe does not support UNC paths (\\<server>\<share>) equally the current directory (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/156276/).
If you like to assign a drive letter yourself using the "map network drive" feature or "net employ" command, you'll have to do this in an administrative context/command vanquish (Windows Vista/7/Server 2008(R2)), because the "UpdateInstaller" script requests authoritative privileges for patch installation.
Please keep in heed that installing patches over the network is confronting the philosophy of an Offline update, and the machine may be vulnerable to attacks while the update procedure is still in progress.

Q: A patch is installed over and once again, in spite of being installed already on the target system. What is the reason and how can I resolve this?
A: This problem regularly occurs when doing kernel updates on OEM systems; it's a Microsoft upshot.
To solve the issue, install such updates manually and specify the "/o" (or "/overwriteoem") switch (as shown on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262841).

Q: When installing patches I receive a alert, that kb890830 and kb976002 have been skipped. Why aren't they integrated?
A: Patch kb890830 is not really an update, but the Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT). This tool (MRT.exe) scans the PC once afterwards a reboot for possible malware infections, simply it is inferior to commercial virus software in terms of detection rate and updating frequency (it's only updated once a moth on most PCs). Additionally, multiple versions are independent in WSUSSCN2.CAB (Microsoft's update catalog), so information technology's already filtered out on download. Patch kb976002 is the Browser Option update for European marketplace.

Q: On patch installation I receive warnings about further missing updates for WSUS Offline Tool. What's up?
A: WSUS Offline update by default downloads but patches contained in Microsoft's itemize WSUSSCN2.CAB. This includes at least all disquisitional and security-related patches, only not every important, recommended or optional one. If you lot feel the need to include them, you are free to practise so manually (encounter above).

Q: Can I force installation of patches despite them being installed already on the target organization?
A: Yes, but not with the GUI (UpdateInstaller.exe). Phone call the batch file "Update.cmd" straight using the "/all" choice, e. g. "Update.cmd /autoreboot /showlog /all".

Q: On my target system, the missing updates tin't be determined; on some other figurer, missing updates will be installed again and again. Why?
A: In most cases, the Windows Update Agent (WUA) is responsible for this misbehavior. To resolve this problem, please follow the instructions to reset the Windows Update components (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058).

Q: On installation of patches I'k getting foreign errors in the control line window, e. g. "C:\wsusupdate\client\cmd\DetermineSystemProperties.vbs(92, 3) (null): 0x80041014". And then the script terminates. What is the cause and how tin can I solve this problem?
A: For trouble-complimentary execution, the script requires the correct installation and configuration of the post-obit Windows services/components: "Automated Update/Windows Update (WUA)", "Windows Script Host (WSH)" and "Windows Direction Instrumentation (WMI)". Delight check first if you have restricted or even disabled these services with tools like TweakUI, nLite/vLite, XP-Antispy, XPy, Tuneup Utilities etc.
If that'south not the instance, the cause is most probably an erroneous scripting components' or WMI registration.
To (re-)register the scripting components on your estimator, delight follow the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949140.
To check your WMI installation, use Microsoft's WMI diagnostics tool (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d7ba3cd6-18d1-4d05-b11e-4c64192ae97d&displaylang=en). Further technical data is given on http://technet.microsoft.com/en-u.s.a./library/cc787057(WS.10).aspx; the WMI FAQs you'll notice on http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692772.aspx.

Q: When installing patches I'm receiving the error: "…\ListMissingUpdateIds.vbs(17, i) (null): The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." or "…\ListMissingUpdateIds.vbs(17, 1) (naught): The signature of the certificate cannot exist verified." How can I solve that problem?
A: This error occurs, if the file ".\client\wsus\wsusscn2.cab" is truncated/corrupted, because it has not been downloaded completely. Of course this invalidates its digital signature. Please rerun the download and media creation again to supervene upon the bad file.

Q: My antivirus package reports the downloaded archive to be infected by a virus/trojan? Is that true?
A: This is with very high probability a false positive! The archive contains compiled AutoIt3 scripts, which some antivirus programs generally detect as malware. Yous can verify the clean status of the scripts (*.au3) by compiling them yourself using the AutoIt3 compiler (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/). Alternatively, upload the downloaded archive to a site like VirusTotal (http://virustotal.com) or Jotti (http://virusscan.jotti.org) and let it be scanned past a multitude of antivirus engines. Additionally, many antivirus suites have the possibility to send the presumed false positives to the author, either manually over a web class/email or automatically within the program. This will improve detection abilities of these products.

Q: While downloading patches I'm receiving messages like "Error 404: Not Found.". Does the Offline Updater utilize invalid URLS? Is this a trouble with WSUS Offline Tool?
A: No, merely Microsoft does. The URLs will exist determined at runtime from Microsoft's catalog bundle.xml, independent in the file wsusscn2.cab. For unknown reasons, Microsoft has these invalid URLs in the file.

Q: I take selected creating an Part update medium in my specific language, e. k. Russian. Merely there are patches in English language downloaded, too. Why is this?
A: Some patches in Microsoft's itemize wsusscn2.cab (parcel.xml) are language dependent, just others exercise just exist in English language. The latter are patches for linguistic communication-independent parts of Role and can be installed on non-English Office installation without any issues.
For that reason, at that place has been created an additional subdirectory named "glb" (global), as well the existing ones like "deu", "enu", "rus" etc. In the glb directory the dynamically determined patches are stored which only be in English language, no thing what language has been selected. In the case of Office 2003, the Service Packs for Projection, Visio etc. which are in English will exist filtered out when creating an update medium. This will relieve space.

Q: I'm about to burn a 500MB ISO image using Nero, but receiving a message telling me the ISO being likewise big in size. Is the ISO corrupt?
A: No, certainly not. Nero, in some versions, seems to have problems in determining the CD/DVD size required. Please update Nero or utilize another CD/DVD/BluRay recording software like ImgBurn (http://imgburn.com).

Q: My ISO prototype is too large to fit on a CD. How tin can I record it using a DVD? Why WSUS Offline Tool has DVD options?
A: There's no difference how recording software treats the CD or DVD ISO and media. That means, as long every bit your recording software supports the ISO format and DVDs, you tin can burn every ISO image on DVD, too. Note that in some cases when the ISO is smaller than 1GiB, the recording software will add padding information to the end to write at least 1 GiB. This is for compatibility reasons and will have no influence on the CD/DVD contents.

Q: When creating an ISO, I receive the warning: "ISO-9660 filenames longer than 31 may cause buffer overflows in the OS." Should I exist alarmed?
A: No. This is a generic warning which is displayed on every run for creating WSUS Offline Update ISOs. It is only a note that breaking the restrictions of the original ISO9660 filesystem (only brusque filenames like FILENAME.EXT) may haved undesired effects on older operating systems like MS-DOS, peculiarly with filenames of 32 chars or longer. All platforms relevant for the Offline Updater handle this without problems, then no need to worry.

Q: Is it possible to integrate the downloaded patches from Offline Update into an Os installation disc via slipstreaming?
A: Not all patches support slipstreaming. Besides, as new patches are released every month (and sometimes even more than frequently), you would have to create a new disc every time. Therefore nosotros recommend to slipstream only the latest Service Pack and install the residual of the patches afterwards OS installation, using the Offline Updater.

Q: I used the "automatic reboot and recall" choice, but the WSUS Offline Updater doesn't resume its work like intended. What can I practice?
A: It seems you have stored the Offline Updater files in a restricted area of your filesystem, where the temporary account "WOUTempAdmin" has no access to, despite having administrative rights. This could exist a user specific directory like "(My )Documents" or "Desktop", or an NTFS encrypted one. Please use some other base directory for installation of patches.

Q: I have selected "Show log file" selection in WSUS Offline Tool, only afterwards finishing the installation and rebooting, the log is not shown. What'due south the reason?
A: Perchance the user account you're logging in with after the final reboot has no permission to access the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce or the log file (%SystemRoot%\wsusofflineupdate.log). Please log in in one case with a sufficiently privileged account after finishing installation and reboot.

Q: I enabled the "automatic reboot and recall" option, and now my PC automatically logs into the "WOUTempAdmin" account. How tin I prevent that and revert to my previous account settings?
A: That result rarely happens. Please help amend the software by submitting a detailed error report, including the preconditions and how to reproduce the error, to the evolution team.
To "clean up" your OS do the following:
– Cancel running update scripts using <Ctrl>+C;
– Execute the "CleanupRecall.cmd" script in the "cmd" directory, then reboot.

If information technology still won't piece of work, follow this guide:
– Log off the "WSUSAdmin" account. While doing this, hold the <Shift> central to preclude automatic login and show the Logon screen instead.
– Log on the "Administrator" account (or an account with authoritative rights).
– Bank check for the beingness of a file named "%SystemRoot%\wsusbak-winlogon.reg".
– If the file exists, start the registry editor ([Start – Run…] regedit) and delete the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon". And then merge the backed upward values back into the registry by double-clicking the "%SystemRoot%\wsusbak-winlogon.reg" file and confirming the prompt. Then you lot tin can delete that file.
– If the file doesn't exist, offset the registry editor ([Start – Run…] regedit) and modify some values of the central "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" every bit follows:
– DefaultUserName: Administrator (or another user account of your choice)
– DefaultPassword: Delete value
– AutoAdminLogon: Delete value
– ForceAutoLogon: Delete value
– Delete the "WOUTempAdmin" business relationship using the "User accounts" Command Panel item.
– Delete the user profile files if they still exist (XP: C:\Documents and Settings, Vista/7: C:\Users).
– Reboot.

Q: Can I exclude patches from download and/or installation using WSUS Offline Tool?
A: Yes, that's possible through customising the download- and update scripts according to your requirements. You may add new patches or exclude existing ones. Please follow this guide:

1. Exclude patches from download
You have to differentiate between statically defined updates (like the latest Service Packs, for instance) and updates that are determined dynamically at runtime of the script.

a) Statically defined updates
To exclude static updates from download, please delete the corresponding URL definitions in the matching file named "StaticDownloadLinks-<platform>[-<architecture>].txt" in the folder "static\custom". Please note that the files residing here will be overwritten on a software update.

b) Dynamically adamant updates
To exclude dynamically determined updates from download, insert their knowledge base ID (KBxxxxxx or simply xxxxxx) into the matching exclude file named "ExcludeList-[-].txt" in the binder "exclude\custom".

2. Excluding updates from installation
Once again you have to make a difference betwixt statically defined and dynamically determined updates.
a) Statically defined updates
The statically divers updates (latest version each) are:
– Service Pack (SP)
– Microsoft Installer (MSI)
– Windows Script Host (WSH)
– Internet Explorer (IE)
These updates will be installed merely if the version installed on the target system is lower than the versions defined in the file "SetTargetEnvVars.cmd" (directory .\client\cmd). If you generally want to prevent installation of one of those updates, you have to modify the expected values in the "SetTargetEnvVars.cmd" or insert bound marks into the "DoUpdate.cmd" (which controls the installation process). You should do this in very special cases but, every bit with SP, WUA, MSI and WSH, certain versions are required as preconditions.
b) Dynamically determined updates
To exclude dynamically determined updates from installation, insert their noesis base ID (KBxxxxxx or just xxxxxx) into the file "ExcludeList.txt" (directory .\client\exclude\custom). These updates volition now be ignored; and y'all'll receive a warning in the log.

The following updates are already excluded:
– kb816093 (Security update for Microsoft VM)
– kb951847 (.Net Framework three.5 SP1 Family unit Update (will be explicitly installed if selected))
– kb890830 (Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT))
– kb944036 (Internet Explorer 8 (will be explicitly installed if selected))
– kb982861 (Internet Explorer 9 (will exist explicitly installed if selected))
– kb2718695 (Internet Explorer 10 (will be explicitly installed if selected))
– kb2841134 (Internet Explorer eleven (volition be explicitly installed if selected))
– kb976002 (Browser Choice)
– kb923618 (Role 2003 Service Pack 3 (will exist implicitly installed if required))
– kb2526086 (Office 2007 Service Pack 3 (will exist implicitly installed if required))
– kb2687455 (Office 2010 Service Pack 2 (volition be implicitly installed if required))
– kb2817430 (Function 2013 Service Pack 1 (will be implicitly installed if required))
– kb936929 (Windows XP Service Pack iii (will exist implicitly installed if required))
– kb914961 (Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (will exist implicitly installed if required))
– kb936330 (Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (will exist implicitly installed if required))
– kb948465 (Windows Vista Service Pack two (will be implicitly installed if required))
– kb976932 (Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (volition be implicitly installed if required))

Delight exist aware that excluding updates may have an affect on the security of your PC.
