Just came across this, few people have mentioned wanting to download Windows updates and keep them so they can update other machines without having to use Windows Update Grab the program that downloads the updates from here and install it http://www.windowsupdatesdownloader.com/ProgramFiles.aspx Now select the Windows version you want the updates for from here, click download and let the above program open the file http://www.windowsupdatesdownloader.com/UpdateLists.aspx
Can get it here too... WinCert. Also WinToolkit which I highly recommend for any wanting a custom install.
Ah nice, yea with MS's lack of interest in providing people with at least an SP2 Win 7, years and years of updates take a while to install, be handy to have an updated ISO
I've used the updates tool in the past, I like the kb info which pops up when you rollover with a mouse. Actually are they the same, the one in screenshot looks different than I remember?
That screen is from my machine, and is an updated version to the one screenshot on the guys site Just bored as fook using an old laptop while Im waiting to get my main machine back up and running
My main complaint about the update process is there not done in any kind of order so some times updates that need to installed before other updates can be installed ,cause failed update and needless reboot. This is my next thing to look at Recommend me good simple to use program/guide to slip stream updates into an iso, last time it tried this was 3 years ago, think i use nlite and the slip stream iso had errors and failed in middle of install. despite no error poped up when i did the slip stream
RT7Lite http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/rt_se7en_lite.html afaik it never left beta status but works fine from what I remember And Pill Monsters recommendation of WinToolKit
Win Toolkit. Last update was 2 weeks ago, it's similar nlite but way better. http://www.wincert.net/forum/files/file/5-win-toolkit/ mmmm Ninja'd..
Problem with this is a lot of companies that make use of group policy will block any windows update connections and tools from Microsoft. We do on ours, and while I have admin access on our network I cannot single out my machine for group policy. So tools like the one posted in the opp that does not feed directly from Microsoft works great, you just need to make sure the hosts are trustworthy.
I just got around to using wincerts win-toolkit to make slipstream iso with all security updates to 3-29-2015 the iso when it was all said and done came out to 4.7gb iso Next thing to to is pull out one my hdd and do test install make sure it did what is supposed too on it before I redo it on my SSD. 480+ updates in total
never saw this thread before but thank you, i have an old amd athlon x2 with 1.5gb ram system for streaming video's and its only on wireless so can be a pain to update via win updates and the install is getting on a bit now hehe thanks again,
