Windows Update does this ? is mean the hotfix is for windows update only ? can't integrated offline ?
Windows Update detected that you need this hotfix and has "staged" it for install, open Windows Update see if you see this hotfix set to install
Fixed Silverlight versions on the server. I just forgot about it. IMPORTANT!!! From April the second I'll be in hospital for aprox. 5 weeks. But I take my Laptop with me to connect to my homenetwork and the server. Delays in providing updates may happen during that time.
We wish you all strength and health, McRip. Please take rest and don't let these hotfixes cause you any stress
If I might pose a question to Burfadel, PointZero, or anyone who has knowledge about the LDR vs GDR situation with the updates. OK, I have used the update.cmd script that attempts to install LDR when possible (if I even understand that correctly). See the script under the 'spoiler' tag to make sure what it does: Spoiler @echo off IF EXIST "%TEMP%\updates.install" RMDIR /s /Q "%TEMP%\updates.install" IF EXIST "%~dp0DISM.log" DEL "%~dp0DISM.log" >nul IF NOT EXIST "%TEMP%\updates.install" MKDIR "%TEMP%\updates.install" IF NOT EXIST "%TEMP%\updates.install\unpacked" MKDIR "%TEMP%\updates.install\unpacked" ECHO.

However, when done and rebooted several times (I divided the updates in several batches and rebooted in between) I still had almost 20 important and 9 optional updates showing in WU. When I looked at the update numbers in WU, I realized I had already tried to install these updates. When I then opened 'installed updates' it was also showing those particular updates were installed. So, I recalled Burfadel talking about updates being installed in LDR mode, not satisfying WU. Now, I don't understand how this works fully, but what I'm thinking is that WU is expecting or requiring to find the GDR versions of those updates, but since they are LDR versions WU considers them not installed. If true, does this mean I should install those particular updates with a different script that does not force LDR and keep them in a "GDR only" folder or something? What I noticed is this: even though under 'installed updates' the updates in question show as installed, and WU reports them as not being installed, I can install them manually (without a script) after which WU does consider them installed. Strange thing is 'installed updates' shows them as already installed, but you can still install them (manually) without Windows telling you the update is already installed. The list of updates that I tried to install with the script but that would be shown as needed by WU is as follows: Spoiler Windows6.1-KB2446710-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2492386-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2545698-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2547666-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2619339-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2644615-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2661254-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2667402-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2676562-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2685939-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2698365-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2709981-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2726535-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2732059-v5-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2742599-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2749655-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2750841-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2753842-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2756921-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2761217-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2778344-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2785220-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2786400-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2789645-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2790113-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2791765-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2799494-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2807986-x64.msu I'm not sure these are all 'GDR' or 'WU satisfy' type updates, but these got offered to me on WU after installing all updates with the above-mentioned script. Some points that come to mind: - is a GDR-only script needed for such updates when installing them (live)? - how does all this GDR and LDR apply to (offline) integration? - has it been known that LDR installed updates that WU requires as GDR can cause WU to offer the 'System Update Readiness Tool', or not? I guess I'll better close for now before this gets any longer. If you have any insight or comment, please post it. Thanks!
Thanks for your detailed reply, PointZero OK, I will use Burfadel's script next time and see what happens then. On that particular install I ended up installing all WU-offered updates manually, which worked to satisfy WU. But I encountered one strange problem with kb2446710. For some reason, neither the script would install it initially, nor could I install it manually . The only thing that would work was to install it through WU itself and then things were OK. It was not a matter of pending updates, etc., as I had rebooted to make sure. Thanks, I did not understand this. I thought with offline integration it would not matter.
