[R] - Script to check missing Security Only Updates

I meant that i don't understand most options it's offering .

 

Ah, ok. Yes, the amount of options it offers can be overwhelming at first. To help explain things, he created a "getting started" guide: http://www.windows-update-checker.com/FAQ/Getting started with KUC.htm

A user also created a video tutorial (in Spanish): www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqFOcFK3iUs

And sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread. I'll stop now.

 

Exactly. Thought it would be clear the script uses either a TXT list (like the one you created) or extracts it from XML .

 

Changed order and integrated checks for needed files being present.

The path thingie is quite bitchy since not all accepts pathes in quotes . will check the possibilities.

You're welcome. Helped me to rework WU TOOL for more reliability .

 

Challenge solved . You might wanna check this ...:

Code:

   CHECK MISSING SECURITY UPDATES

   PATH: G:\win\te st


   [C] CHECK INSTALLED UPDATES

   [P] PARSE SECURITY UPDATES FROM XML

   [L] LIST CHECK FOR MISSING UPDATES

   [F] FOLDER CHECK FOR MISSING UPDATES

   [G] GET MISSING UPDATE LINKS FROM XML

   [D] DELETE TEMP FILES
   [E] EXIT



YOUR CHOICE ?:

For the sake of completeness (and apparently some boredom) i added list download with wget and install from compare list via WUSA.

Still works with spaces in folder name.

Was indeed a good test for some stuff . Have some more little ideas, that could be helpful, will test them later.

 

Some little changes for more versatility:

#1. Script will now recognise several WHD XML files (Win 7/Win 8.1[with Update 3]) and ask which should be parsed.

#2. Download part offers choice to either download only the missing ones or all Updates.

#3. Update Install only installs updates from complist.txt (aka the missing ones) matching system architecture.

So now:

#1. You can have all needed XML files for the systems you maintain in scripts folder (can be in subfolders)

#2. You can have all needed Updates for the systems you maintain in scripts folder (can be in subfolders)

#3. On a system you want to maintain, make sure all files match the current system (Delete Temp ones and parse the correct XML, then do the List or Folder check)

Just tested on Win 8.1 Update 3 with all Security updates for x64 and x86 in a subfolder. Installer gathered correct files for install.

Some last checks before release .

 

Test:

Spoiler

 

Reworked all parses for reliable checks. Folders with spaces in name still work.
