Windows Update package

Hi,

I was wondering if it possible to download the Windows Update package
(application) as an installer somewhere to make it possible to update
Windows Update on the machines on the network from a local server. I
need to update WU to enable the clients to use WSUS, but I do not wish
to have to go to the Microsoft-site every time to update the
application over the internet.

Cheers,

Rick

Hi,

For x86-based computers (WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe)
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43264

(above file will work for Win2k SP3 and SP4, WinXP RTM/SP1/SP2, and
Win2k3 RTM/SP1)

For x64-based computers (WindowsUpdateAgent20-x64.exe):
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43265

For Itanium-based computers (WindowsUpdateAgent20-ia64.exe):
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=42538


See this post for a VBScript that checks if the WU agent is updated or
not, and if not, runs WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe in unattended mode:
