It's been a hell of a long time, but I'm back... sort of. The links are updated and the files are available for download directly from my personal servers again. I'm overloaded with work in my personal life, but I've seen just how popular these few utilities have become, so I've updated the source and recompiled them with Visual Studio 2005. I'll be trying to update the programs, maybe re-write them... I'll be bringing into this mix a couple of my other utilities in the near future too.

I updated this thread to include the Windows XP Updates Downloader, let me know if there's any broken links.

Windows XP Updates Downloader updated with all critical updates up to date.

Thanks for Compression Bin. I have been looking and testing all compression programs I could find. This one took a 347mg file and made it a 87mg file. There is one problem that I am running into. How does one uncompress the output file that compression bin makes? I can not get this program or winace, winrar, uharc, winrk, 7zip, gzip, and lha to open the file type ac_

Compression Bin uses MAKECAB.EXE to compress files, which is a Microsoft utility. To expand those files, you need to use EXPAND.EXE.

Windows XP Updates Downloader was renamed today to Windows Updates Downloader due to the complete rewrite that I did today!

WUD 2.0 is now available for download and features external update lists! (See first post of this thread.)

I need testers people! Try it out! I'm excited!

[Kelsenellenelvian]

The downloader worked sweet for me...

Faaaarkin amazin man, very neat

WUD works for me. I just downloaded 70MB of stuff...

Oh... and you need to redo the icon for it. It looks pretty bad in Alt-Tab... geez jcarle... can't you do any better?

Just a couple of things that would make v2.1 wicked:

1) Would it be possible to have WUD remember the location of where you want to download the files to? If I put the exe in C:\Program Files\Windows Update Downloader\, but I want to save them to C:\Updates, I have to specify that path each time.
2) Have WUD keep track of which files have been downloaded? That way, after the next patch tuesday, only the files that you don't already have are downloaded.
3) An option to download the files to different folders based on the categories? Then you can choose to download everything, and then integrate the service pack from one directory, then integrate the updates from another directory (which is usually done with a batch file or the like).


Keep up the good work man! Glad to see you back in action.

I made a quick logo which you can use for WUD if you want:



Thanks for the great utility!

Do you realize that WUD isn't up to date at present.

At first glance the following have all been replaced by updated fixes

KB887742 - replaced August 2006
KB888113 - replaced August 2006
KB896422 - replaced July 2006
KB902400 - replaced May 2006 (by KB912817)

[jcarle]

Not up to date is not accurate. It is, indeed, current with all the latest updates, however, it is possible that some updates in the list have been superceded. However, I did not find mention of those updates having been replaced in the Microsoft Bulletins.

After your post, I verified very carefully the security bulletins for August, July and May.

KB888113 was replaced by KB920670.
KB896422 was replaced by KB917159.

But I did not find any evidence that KB887742 or KB902400 have been replaced.

I've updated the UL list to reflect the changes I just mentioned in this post.

I update the Windows XP x86 ENU UL to include that update. Thank you.

Send me over your Swedish UL after you complete it. Thanks
