All updates are post-SP1 Windows Update only offers published General and Security Updates, whereas WHD provide newest hotfixes/updates that supersedes most of the published updates (hence the name Windows Hotfix Downloader) so technically, WHD and WU should not be used together, it's recommended to use one of them only
WHDownloader Final Released. Link on first page Read the readme... I will be providing support for this (bug fixes and updates for list changes when needed), but it will remain just a downloader. No requests Thanks Alpha..
thanks for the new application. You can add the option "decompression and filter" to office updates? PD: Ups. I posted the same time and did not read "no resquest"
What benefits does this offer over WHD? I'm asking because I see no reason to use it. The features added based on community feedback and your cooperation are what made WHD so popular. I have no need for a downloader if that is all it does. I can still admire your effort, but without the features WHD offered, I don't see how this tool can compare or compete.
It is as it says a 'Downloader' not a Tool, ive recoded it from start to finish (even while ive been in hospital.. lol), its quicker and cleaner than the old downloader (no messy background workers) im much more happier with this. It will have bugs to start i know, but its about making this a greater Downloader.. Which is my plan.. As always thanks for feedback..
Thiersee at what point did you recieve the error message. Was it restarting application or ??? Thanks for feedback.. Feedback is whats needed to iron out any existing bugs.. EDIT: Please note.. You cannot use previous Update Lists prior to the ones provided in WHDownloader (They will not work).
1) 1st start after downloading/unpacking: no error 2) New lists downloaded, OK 3) Program terminated and restarted: from now on ---> error Of course, see point 2. P.S.: I got too the error on downloading, but not always... Thiersee
I get it by examining the contained components version (vbscript.dll) Windows 7 lists will always have conflicts with Windows Update BTW, do you get KB2909210 in WU after installing KB2929437?
Alphawaves, thank you very much for the new version of WHDownloader. Hope your health returns to 100% soon buddy. And special thanks to abbodi1406 & burfadel for their hard work in maintaining the lists.
