WHDownloader - Support and chat

Seems a good idea

but files with same name (like text files and office junk filter) cannot be updated automatically, you need to delete the old one first

 

Thanks abbodi1406 for the "extra" info.

That seems to be pretty much what is needed for new users (and sometimes, even to old ones).

 

So many people here using this utility but no one can tell me how they use the downloaded updates?

 

What are u mean? For what we use the updates? Maybe for updating Windows? o.ö
Google for some integrations tools like WinToolKit, so you will know how to use...

 

You know what I mean. LOL

Thanks now I know what to look for.

 

Here is a simple script to automate uninstalling updates using DISM

how to use:
replace the zero in (0) with comma separated updates' kb numbers, example:

Code:

set list=(2917011,2931358,2953212,2962140,2966826,2966828,999994)

this will remove all updates in one dism session:

Code:

@echo off
set list=(0)

setlocal enableextensions
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
cd /d "%~dp0"
set name=
echo.
echo Getting Packages...
Dism /English /Online /Get-Packages>Packs.txt
cls
for /d %%G in %list% do (
for /f "tokens=3 delims=: " %%i in ('findstr %%G Packs.txt') do echo %%i>>ToRemove.txt
)
for /f %%i in (ToRemove.txt) do (call set /a num+=1)
for /f %%i in (ToRemove.txt) do call :setcount %%i
for /L %%j in (1, 1, %num%) do (
set name=!name! /PackageName:!PK%%j!
)
Dism /Online /NoRestart /Remove-Package %name%
del Packs.txt ToRemove.txt

echo #########################################################
echo.
echo.
echo Press any key to Exit
pause >nul
exit

:setcount
set /a count+=1
set PK%count%=%1
goto :eof

this will remove each update in separate dism session:

Code:

@echo off
set list=(0)

cd /d "%~dp0"
echo.
echo Getting Packages...
Dism /English /Online /Get-Packages>Packs.txt
cls
for /d %%G in %list% do (
for /f "tokens=3 delims=: " %%i in ('findstr %%G Packs.txt') do echo %%i>>ToRemove.txt
)

for /f %%A in (ToRemove.txt) do Dism /Online /NoRestart /Remove-Package /PackageName:%%A
del Packs.txt ToRemove.txt

echo #########################################################
echo.
echo.
echo Press any key to Exit
pause >nul
exit

please do note that the script removes all updates that has same kb number with different versions
like 2952664-v3 and 2952664-v4 in Windows7, or 2976978 and 2976978-v2 in Windows8.1
so make sure you the uninstall old version before installing the new one

Does WHDownloader has a function that will expand downloaded patch.exe to msp? I accidentally deleted folder that contains the *.msp's

or does anybody can share a batch script that will expand multiple patch.exe in a given folder to msp

Thanks...

It seems that the search for superseded updates is broken, or is it just on my end

 

Read the "Readme" txt and config.ini files in the root of the WHDownloader folder; modify your config.ini file accordingly.

For example:

Code:

ExtractMSP=True

I have no problem with search for superseeded updates.

 

I already have it in my config.ini, but the problem is that after downloading all the updates Office 2013 x64, I accidentally deleted the extracted folder...

I was looking for a somewhat hidden function that will only extract the msp from the exe...

I was thinking of a batch script that will extract the msp from the exe in a given folder...

If you don't experience problems, i suggest you keep them (2982791 & 2970228)

for win 8.1

 

One of two things work; delete your entire Office update folder and redownload or use 7-zip to extract the exe's. The executables can be launched with the switch

Code:

/extract:<path>

for those that 7-zip does not extract correctly (very few).

 

Spoiler

Code:

@echo off
set outdir=.\OfficeMSP
set outdir=C:\OfficeMSP

title Microsoft Office 2013
cd /d "%~dp0"
set c=0
set count=0

for /f "delims=" %%G in ('"dir /b *2013*.exe" 2^>nul') do (call set /a c+=1)
if %c% equ 0 goto :eof

for /f "delims=" %%G in ('"dir /b *2013*.exe" 2^>nul') do (set package=%%G&call :start)
del %outdir%\*.txt
del %outdir%\*.xml
exit

:start
cls

set /a count+=1
echo update %count% of %c%:

echo %package%

.\OfficeMSP represent output folder in the current directory
C:\OfficeMSP represent output folder with full specified path (recommended so it will be a persistent repo)
keep one of the two lines, or else second line will have the value

you may change 2013 instances if you want to extract office 2010 updates

 

Sorry if this seems ignorant but is this script capable of being used for both online and offline images?

 

Yes

change /Online to /Image:MountPath-or-SecondPartition
e.g. /Image:E:

 

If you right-click at the bottom of the WHDownloader app, you'll find the "Office MSP Extractor" option.

7-Zip can extract from all the updates (even those very few). For the ones where the .msp is not shown upon opening, double-click on the file portion named "[0]" in the exe to find the .msp. This applies to:
