Using the new agent installs a new muauth.cab. Seems, hfslip 1.7.8 isn´t able to work with.

HFSLIP does process the new files. However Windows Update still needs to download some dll file, but not the whole component. Pretty good imho

where is the new MUAuth.cab? thanks ..

[Smiley89]

If you want the new muauth.cab for slipstreaming, just copy it from "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\AuthCabs" after installing the new agent.

I found also a newer version of the MUweb_site.cab (7.2.6001.784):

Smiley89 or anybody, do you know where to download mucltui.dll and mucltui.dll.mui versions 7.2.6001.784?

I can only find older versions

After I installed the new Windows Update Agent, and visited Microsoft Update and did a scan for updates, those two files were at version 7.2.6001.784 in my \windows\system32 directory. I didn't check the file versions immediately after installing, so I don't know if they were updated by the installer, or by visiting Microsoft Update.

They are updated by the installer. If you extract the executable you can find both desired files.

It would be helpful if the OP (Tomalak) or a MOD/ADMIN could change the second part of this thread title from

"Version 7.1.6001.65"

to

"Version 7.2.6001.784"

Please.

Edit: DONE! Thank you

There's a newer version of the Windows Update Agent (WindowsUupdateAgent30-x86.exe) announced -- version 7.2.6001.788.

See KB949104 "How to obtain the latest version of the Windows Update Agent to help manage updates on a computer"

Don't bother trying to download it just yet, because Microsoft have managed to give three broken links to it.
