Windows update stand alone pakages (msu) loop


The windows update of my windows 7 sp1 is not working. So i decided to get possible updates as a stand alone packages. i downloaded many packages. but when i clicked at one of the packages firstly it shows preparing for 1 second then searching for updates on this computer then this thing keeps showing for hrs even i let it doing it over night after still it keeps showing searching for updates. even if the package is of some kbs. is it bug in my windows that need to fix.
please help to fix this issue


Answer



stop the Windows Update service (net stop wuauserv) before installing a MSU update. I use this cmd:


@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
FOR /R "%~dp0" %%A IN (*Windows6.1-KB*.MSU) DO (
CALL :SUB %%~nA
ECHO= Installing KB!KB_NUM!
>NUL net stop wuauserv
WUSA "%%A" /quiet /norestart)
ECHO= == Press any key to close the Window ==
>NUL PAUSE
GOTO :EOF
:SUB
SET "KB_NUM=%*"
FOR /F "DELIMS=-" %%B IN ("%KB_NUM:*-KB=%") DO SET "KB_NUM=%%B"

to enum all MSU updates in the folder where the CMD is stored and install them and before installing an update, it stops the service to speed it up.
