Batchpatch not using older wsusscn2.cab

[doggie100]

Hello i tried to turn on Do not download newest wsusscn2.cab if any version is already cached but it still seems to download latest version what am i doing wrong?

I understand that you have ticked the box ‘Do not download newest wsusscn2.cab if any version is already cached’, but which action are you using in the app that is not obeying that checkbox?

its not a action im running its the download offline updates repository tool im using

[doug]

Thanks. We have confirmed that the ‘Download offline updates repository’ action does not obey the checkbox ‘Do not download newest wsusscn2.cab if any version is already cached’. We’ll look at fixing this for a future build.

maybe its because the file stored in the cache is different?

I’m not really sure what you’re suggesting. The reason that the ‘Download offline updates repository’ action does not obey the setting ‘Do not download newest wsusscn2.cab if any version is already cached’ is because it was not coded to obey that setting. In that sense it’s not really a “bug” per se but rather by design. However, it makes sense that it ought to obey that setting just like the normal Windows Update actions do, so we’ll look at changing it in a future build.

The .cab file is extracted by BP into the wsusscn2 folder so that it can be parsed to get the relevant data needed by the “Download offline updates repository” action. What you see in your screenshot is expected/normal. It has nothing to do with why “Download offline updates repository” does not obey “Do not download newest wsusscn2.cab if any version is already cached”. I explained why that’s the case in my previous posting above.

Thanks,
Doug
