Please delete it and re-run the download process. What can I do?Ī: Your copy of Microsoft’s update catalog file (…\client\wsus\wsusscn2.cab) seems to be corrupt. Q: During download or installation, I receive an error indicating an invalid package.xml file. More details available in the video tutorial. Saving to: './client/dotnet/圆4-glb/ndp45-kb4096495-圆4_41a96e508184f9dac887e02a2c1caf75842a4e95.exe' Client Update – Source Folder Locationsįollowing are folder locations where client update source files will be stored. This is going to take long time finish depending on the updates you have selected from the tool. But I love the status screen during download. There are options to minimize or hide the download progress screen (more details in the FAQ section below). CLIENT C:\Users\Anoop\Downloads\wsusoffline113\wsusoffline\client\ UpdateInstaller.exe I would recommend keeping CLIENT folder in a shared location so that you can access it from many devices.
#Offline update file secure install
Once downloaded the updates then, you need to run following exe ( UpdateInstaller.exe) from the client device where you want to install updates.

Launch UpdateInstaller.exe and select the updates which you want to download for offline updates.
#Offline update file secure Patch
The disadvantage of this tool is that computers updated by WSUS Offline Update will hardly ever completely satisfy Microsoft’s Online Update afterwards, but the patch coverage does completely satisfy Microsoft’s Baseline Security Analyzer. 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 as “critical” and “security relevant”, but it does not necessarily contain all “important” and “optional” ones. I will surely recommend SCCM and WSUS ( patching guide) for lab environment if you already have SCCM in your lab. But it could be useful for some isolated lab environment if you don’t have SCCM with software update point (SUP). Without it needing to have an internet connection.Īs I mentioned below, I don’t recommend using this tool in any production environment. You have to download Microsoft update only once from the internet and then use WSUS Offline Tool to install it on all the lab machines. WSUS Offline tool allows you to update lab machines running Windows 10, Server 2016 or Office 2016.
