Windows 10: Windows 10 update cab file Installer.

Problems with Windows 10 Updates are an ongoing issue now.
and the possible solution to overcome this is by downloading the updates manually from the Microsoft®Update Catalog or using tools like WHDownloader (formerly Windows Hotfix Downloader)

The issue is that some times the packages will be CAB files and that's when the normal users won't be having an option about what to do next. Thus, to tackle this issue, I have managed to make a tiny program which will indeed help to Install those Cab file packages in windows without any troubles. *Smile


The program is in the attachment.

64 Bit : Windows 10 CAB x64.zip

Note :
#. The 32 bit version will work for 64 bit as well, Only compilation is optimized.
#. Make sure the source cab file path does not have any space in between them. ("MyDocuments" instead of "My Documents")

Cheers Shadow... *Smile

Do you mind sending me the source? - I note an Auto-It compiler error in the resource files which I'd like to check out.

Thanx.

 

Sure, I will send in the code right away.
Have added a 64 Bit compiled version also, that might solve the issue perhaps. It runs fine for me. Thank you for checking out.*Smile

 

Great! I'll check it out. The Problem with the Microsoft®Update Catalog is that you have to KNOW what you are downloading. Is there a list posted of daily Windows 10 updates? If I could find an RSS feed I can make a gadget that shows them on my desktop.

YES! That Hotfix Downloader Kicks Arse! Thanks a hell of a lot!

 

Thank you, I just hope this helps all those who have trouble with the packages. *Smile

 

This post should be pinned, it's important information.

I have developed a system - I leave the Win Updates service OFF. Then I check for updates with the WHdownloader, get them, and then turn my WU service back on only long enough to install what updates I have downloaded. I still have that KB3081444 update pending on my machine, so I have to shut off the WU service before rebooting lest that update gets installed thus hosing my PC again.

Thanks again for this.

 

I have set Group policy to "Notify for download and notify for install". I have set Windows update to "Defer Upgrades" and I have set all wireless connections to metred.
I run UsoClient.exe StartScan to see what updates are available for my systems and then use WhDownloader to download any required updates on all my machines (5).
Advantages are:-
* Only downloaded once.
* Downloaded sequentially and not concurrently so internet access is still possible
* You can restart each machine without having it scheduled to restart at some ridiculous time the next day.

Cheers

I can install KB3081440.cab successfully but failed with KB3081437.cab. How to solve this pls?[/quote] Remove the Windows10.0-KB part from the name since that dot there might be acting as an extension and preventing the file from getting installed. Keep the name simpler like just "KB3081437.cab" and try again.

 

^^ Did what you said but still with the same error.*Sad

Download the updates using this : WHDownloader (formerly Windows Hotfix Downloader)
And use the tool to install the cab files. *Smile

 

Downloaded 2 times the x64 version. Both times the file gives me "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged"
I use WinRar.
