    You must click "Filter Office Updates" before you select which language you want from the drop down.

    I know that it downloads the updates for your OS, but if it downloads just the updates needed after SP1- that is unknown. Alphawaves will need to chime in here.

    Ive just realized I hadn't applied ANYCPU to this application, so for any x64 users using functions other than the HotfixDownloader you may run into problems..
    Sorry will update to v2.0 tomorrow.:eek:

    If you do calls around System32 is really cool to apply the DisableWOW64FSRedirection / use SysNative folder or change the architecture to AnyCPU, may have problems with cross platform updates installation... :worthy:

    It will depend from Microsoft, not Windows Hotfix Downloader... :eek:

    Anyway the most genuine checks is made by the Windows inside the '6.2' kernel.

    Yes, I did that, but the language selection box which appears after that is blank.

    M.

    Sorry, my mistake. Following your instruction did work. Thanks so much.

    UPDATE

    I select the update I want to remove (updates shown in green and turned blue when selected) and i click on "Options>Deleted Downloaded Updates" and the selected update(s) will disappear from the list but not from the folder. When I select the Windows 7 x64 updates from the list and it shows the files I tried to delete.

    I am using this from my internal storage, not from my (main) C: drive.

    WindowsHotfixDownloader.exe = D:\Software\OS\Windows\Tools\Alphawaves\WindowsHot fixDownloader\2.0
    Deleting updates in this folder = D:\Software\OS\Windows\Tools\Alphawaves\WindowsHot fixDownloader\Updates\Windows 7 x64\Main Updates

    Cleanup finally working...anyway to have it reboot only if (errorlevel) needed?

    A reboot is not always required, if it does not find any superseded updates or if a update is not a driver based update with a INF it does not ask to reboot

    I updated my freshly installed Windows 7 SP1 x64 system yesterday using this tool but the Windows Update showed me a lot of updates. Should I hide them all or just a part of them? And BTW the update process took me 5 hours to complete is this normal?
