@Boardbabe: I've tried both, but it doesn't work.

does anyone have another method to register wups2.dll?

SVCPACK method:

\i386\svcpack.inf

[CatalogHeader][Version]

BuildNumber=2600

MinorVersion=1

MajorVersion=5

Signature="$WINDOWS NT$"

[setupData]

CatalogSubDir="\I386\svcpack"

[setupHotfixesToRun]

nircmd exec hide extrac32 /L ~$sys.windir$\system32\ ~$folder.nircmd$\wups2.cab wups2.dll /Y

nircmd regsvr reg ~$sys.windir$\system32\wups2.dll ~$sys.windir$\temp\wups2.log

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

\i386\SVCPACK folder

nircmd.exe

wups2.cab (link is on post #1)

optional: ~$sys.windir$\temp\wups2.log creates a log file.

X-FoRcE, how did you find this programs? I've tried the x86, it works. I've even trimmed it down to the language I want. I just need to understand how it or rather updates to it should it be updated again.

Anybody?

Windows Update client has been updated to v7.0.6000.381. the last redistributable that was linked here connects to v7.0.6000.374.

Anyone know the link to the newest version?

standalone version is not released yet.

Anyone know how to create a silent installer after capturing the files?

Anyone know how to create a silent installer after capturing the files?

I'm interested too. It seems the standalone version won't be released by Microsoft ...

This is how i do it,

you can get WU6 installed by going to this URL

WindowsUpdate v6

go ahead and install it.

the following list of files were taken directly from my

system32 folder after installing WU6.

I compressed them, and overwrote the existing files in the I386 folder.

cdm.dl_

iuengine.dl_

winhttp.dl_

wuapi.dl_

wuauclt.ex_

wuauclt1.ex_

wuaucpl.cp_

wuaueng.dl_

wuaueng1.dl_

wuauserv.dl_

wucltui.dl_

wups.dl_

wuweb.dl_

Next, the file wups2.dll (also taken from system32) is placed in $OEM$\$$\system32 and during the runoncex installation proccess

i execute this command:

regsvr32 /s %windir%\system32\wups2.dll

Everything works great on a clean install.

This method defaults to WU6.

EDIT to update for all users

I've since determined that the following update is required by WU6

Here is a link to the windows installer update

Windows Installer 3.1 (v2)

if you download the above update you can extract the 5 updated msi*.* files from it with WinRAR, compress them, and also add them to your I386 folder.

msi.dll

msiexec.exe

msihnd.dll

msimsg.dll

msisip.dll

Check for uncompressed versions of these files already existing in I386.

Delete them if they exist.

EDITTED to bring all the info into one file

Ok, I've done all the things you said, but i'm insecure where I'm putting the "regsvr32 /s %windir%\system32\wups2.dll"... I didnt exacly understand what you meant, is it in winnt.sif?

@FeFFe

.

You can put it in a .cmd file and execute this file via runonceex.cmd or guirunonce

Hope this helps

I'd like to encourage everyone reading this thread to also check out GUIDE: Download Everything Microsoft, a complete, step-by-step, how-to, which includes all of the most useful information contained in this thread you are currently reading, as well as information on some other closely related items that you should consider integrating into your XPCDs. Much of the linked guide's information has been discussed in other disparate MSFN Forums threads (like this one), but it is all brought together in one place along with new information not covered anywhere else on MSFN.

Guide Topics Include Integrating:

• Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) - KB893803
  
• Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications - KB905474
  
• Windows Update Agent

• Microsoft Update Catalog Internet ActiveX Control (MuCatalogWebControl.cab)
  

All of the above items are closely interrelated as it they all pertain to downloading Microsoft Software Updates to your Windows XP computer. In fact, many of the above items are so closely intertwined that some will not work correctly without the correct installation of others.
