NOTE or x86 DVD installations: I was not able to remove some of the superseded (version) updates of 7 hotfixes. Also if I tried to add the new once, the installation
fails. Due to this situations the following updates will not be remove from a DVD image: 2647753-v3, 2647753-v2, 2647753-v2, 2723222-v1, 2724781-v2, 2726399-v2,
2731847-v1, 2733420-v2. You may be able to remove them with no problem. Also it’s possible to remove them online after OS installation. If you get installation errors
while installing the versions of those updates, you can re-add the old version. After re-adding; the installation of the new versions worked fine for me.

0.8.009.001

· Enhancement: If you run KUC for W7 on Win8 systems, it will now create the packages.txt file for Win7 DVD-image or VHD-drive automatically.

· Enhancement: server update 2652137 (iSCSI TargetDisk) moved from normal updates to server additions. You can now check this addition with a new checkbox.
NOTE: This update may cause VSS issues with some third-party backup-programs. So if you get VSS errors uninstall this server addition.
If you already have installed this update, check if your backups are working.

0.8.008.006

· Enhancement: If an update is already downloaded with an old version and the new update has the same filename
KUC now checks the repository if the correct file size is present. [Example: 2545698 version 6.1.1.5 (new) and 6.1.1.3 (old)]
KUC only checks the file size of superseded updates with the same filename.

· Changed: New filename for the .exe (So update you shortcuts)

0.8.007.006

· Fixed: If GroupPolicy is selected and not RSAT or vice versa, 2738974-v3 is needed! Thanks to pointzero and bapt
Note: If RSAT is not installed and you select to install RSAT, you will need a 2. run of KUC to get this update.

Also Note: More than one run of KUC is always useful.

Some packages can only be installed, if others are installed or removed before.

0.8.007.005

· Fixed: updated reference file for Win7x64. Thanks to woniu and RickSteele!

· Fixed: 2510531x86 is not superseded.

· Updated Database.

0.8.007.001

· Overview of the Command-Line switches.

/REPO-DIR:             the folder where KUC searches for updates or downloads updates to
/UP-DIR:                 the working folder
/ONYLCABS:            if you have only .cab files in your repo-dir folder
/DVD-IMAGE-DIR:   the folder you mount a DVD image
/VHD-DRIVE:           the folder/drive you mount a VHD-DRIVE

· Updated Database.

· 2506143 (Windows Management Framework 3.0) must be installed on 2008R2 servers,
if you want to manage them from Server Manager in Windows Server 2012 or RSAT for Windows 8.
Make sure you have enabled the ISE feature on the server before installation. You also must have installed .Net 4.0 or 4.5

· Fixed: all known issues.

·    Enhancement:         To avoid reported problems with some video drivers 2685811/2685813 will get KUC-State:
OK/WARNING          if installed
ADDLATER               if missing
They will not be installed without user interaction.
To install these updates:
You have to copy them from the repo to the LDR folder manually after you run “Copy_Files_2_add.cmd” and before you run “update.cmd”.

Note: I removed this updates from auto-installation even I think the problems are caused by the (bad) video driver.
I’m using them with no issues. (AMD driver 8.980.0.0 dated 2012-06-11).
But hotfixes should avoid problems and not to be a (at least) part of them.

0.8.006.013

· Updated Database.

0.8.006.012

· Fixed: Seems that some users have so much old RTM and new packages installed that one Array gets to small.
This results in “FATAL Error: 9; Index was outside the bounds of the array.”
I resized the array from 2000 to 3000.

· Fixed: Testing of WIN7 packages.txt and DVD/VHD update of WIN7 should now work on WIN8.
KUC still does not maintain WIN8 packages.txt.

0.8.006.010

· Updated Database.

0.8.006.009

· Enhancement: if KUC finds BAD packages for RTM; included in SP1 or Beta they will be ignored.
Note: BAD packages should always be removed to avoid unknown interactions with other updates.
But, if the BAD package was present before installation of SP1, KUC can not repair them.
(Normally RTM updates can not be installed on systems with SP1 included.)
I saw a lot of download tries on my server for RTM packages, so I decided to ignore BAD RTM packages.
This enables those users to use KUC without changing there packages.txt file.

· Number of known updates 1298.

· Repo Server Changes: File Search will now find Win8 hotfixes/updates as well.

· Updated “Satisfy WU”.

0.8.006.007

· Updated database.

· Number of known updates 1224.

· Enhancement: wudfcoinstaller version detection for the updates 2685811/2685813 (replaces 999158/999159).
Note: 999158/999159 remains a problematic update. After integration I was not able to reset the DVD image to the SP1 version
of the updated files. DISM posts no error but did not uninstall the updated files.
For me it was not possible to integrate 2685811/2685813 correctly into the DVD.
So I marked 2685811/3 as DVD prohibited to ensure that the installation works correctly online after system installation.
The problem does not occur, if 999158 and 999159 had not been integrated.
So you may be able to integrate this updates successfully. But I want to be on the save site.
Users having problems with the online installation of 2685811/3 should look at my FAQ for a 999158/9 online cleanup.
Just found out that one of my PCs also shows this behaviour (Was installed 18 months ago, so 999158/9 was not integrated)

· There is also a new windows 8 update and hotfix repo on my server. http://www.windows-update-checker.com/win8/
Note: file search only finds window7 files.

0.8.006.004

· Updated database.
(The next 3 weeks I have holydays, so do not expect the next update until then.)

0.8.006.003

· Updated database.

0.8.006.002

· Updated database.

0.8.006.001

· Updated database.

· Removed: Download from “hotfix.chris123nt.com”

· “Fixed”: On computers with low resolutions and/or high DPI settings Control-Buttons where not shown.
Now you can resize the main KUC windows and I added Scroll-Bars to them.
If you still can not see the buttons try using first “Maximize” and then “Restore” and then resize the window.
I think the problem is not really fixed, but it is a crutch.

0.8.005.025

· Updated database.

· Changed: If CSVView.exe exists, the outputfile will open in CSVView.exe
Note: There is a new version of CSVView.exe v1.50 available. Link: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/csv_file_view.html

· Fixed: 2642658 was not shown as ADSL/RSAT update.

· Updated “Satisfy WU” database for x86 systems.
Note: 976002 (BrowserChoice) and 971033 (WindowsActivation) may also come up as Windows updates but are not included in the database, since they can be selected separately on the “Select Check Options 1” screen.

0.8.005.024

· Updated database.

0.8.005.022

· Changed: Timeout value for downloading from 5 to 15 sec.

· Known Issues: Sometimes 2699988 (IE8 Cum update) can not be added to a DVD image or installed online if IE9 is present.

· Added: some useful MicrosoftFixits to my server.

· Updated database.

· Number of known updates 1172.

· Fixed: If Windows Update was never set, remove_old.cmd failed to start.

· Fixed: Added exception for 976002, which can not be removed.

0.8.005.020

· Updated database.

· Updated “OLD for BAD” on KUC server.

0.8.005.019
Note: Some users did not have installed the correct SP1 they have a pre-release or beta version.
KUC is not intended to work with those versions. KUC now will check if the correct SP1 is installed.

Also there are corrupt installations of SP1 on the market. You can identify this, if you get a lot of unknown
packages.

· Enhancement: KUC now tests, if correct SP1 version is installed.

· Enhancement: Support for CSVView.exe. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/csv_file_view.html
Place the exe in same directory folder as the KUC program (or the “Start in” folder).
Even if you have Excel installed, which gives you more control, try the CSVView.exe, it’s very quick.

· Updated database.

· Added: updated beta/CP kb numbers for update identification (Thanks puzyr for his packages.txt).

· Added: identification of AD LDS version 6.1.7601.17514.
You only get this version if you had 975541 installed before you add SP1.
If you install 975541 on a SP1 preinstalled system the version will stay 6.1.7600.16521

0.8.005.010

· Enhancement: Version detection for the updates 999158 and 999159.
Note: As with 2506143, KUC will remove the old version of 999158 and 999159 first
before it adds the new version.
Else not all updates files will be installed. Even if dism says: 100% ok.
To install the new version of 999158 a second run of KUC is required, after reboot!
Also delete existing versions of 2506143, 999158 and 999159 in the repo folder.
KUC will not add 999158 or 999159, if it finds existing old msu or cab files of this updates.
Also rerun KUC after installation and reboot to check if 999158 and 999159 are installed correctly.

· Enhancement: Special handling for the 2545698 & 2693391 BSOD bug.

· Changes: Texts and tooltips of Select Options 2 are now more understandable (I hope) (Thanks to joflomo).

· Fixed: Not “Windows Update is enabled” warning necessary for DVD or VHD removals.

· Changes: Renamed “KEEP” folder on the KUC server to “Satisfy WU”
I think I was the first one, who implements this kind of updates in his database and named it “GDR/LDR to KEEP”,
but now the term “Satisfy WU” is more commonly used, and indeed it says more.

0.8.004.165

· Fixed: “search for missing file” on KUC server now works with BAD packages.

· Fixed: [Package Identity] was not show correctly for “BAD” BF_ packages.

· Fixed: All versions of a KB were marked BAD, even though only one version has BAD packages.

· Fixed: <You did not run “Dism /online /Cleanup-Image /spsuperseded /hidesp’> was not shown at program end.

· Number of known updates 1114.

· Updated database.

· Fixed: 2632149 was not marked as superseded (Thanks to compstuff).

· Fixed: superseding update numbers of 2425227 were incorrect.

· Added: updated beta/CP kb numbers for identification.

· Added: updated RTM kb numbers for identification.

0.8.004.136

· Fixed: wsusscan.cab was not deleted in LP cab folders.

· Fixed: installed IE9 languages are now known.

· Fixed: KUC now identifies LIPPacks.

· Updated database.

0.8.004.135

· Fixed: Max number of updates to add did not work (only version 0.8.004.127).

· Updated database.

· Fixed: bad filename for IE9 language packages.

· Fixed: 2502285_BFx86 was missing in reference
2549724 was present as v1 & v2
(since both of them are superseded this issue should not have been seen)

· Updated “OLD for BAD” folders.

· Enhancement: Remover now checks, if Windows Update is enabled.
Note: Always disable Windows Update during the use of KUC.
Set WU to “Never check for updates” or
“Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them”.
If you only want to add updates that’s not nessesary.

· Know issues: KUC marks some installed IE9 language packages as unknown.

0.8.004.127

· Enhancement: Updater now checks, if copier has already run.

· Enhancement: Exclusive installation of 2533552 (windows-servicingstack).
If you select this, only 2533552 will be installed.
It’s highly recommended to restart after adding this update. Also all other updates that are marked as “Important” by Microsoft should be installed before.

· Fixed: Some tooltips were missing or faulty.

· Fixed: If check for superseded was not selected, KUC tried to download superseded updates in the “OLD for BAD” folders. That was incorrect, since here only that updates can be found, that have raised a BAD issue.

· Changed: Make the output file for Excel a little bit more readable; fill empty cells with one blank.

· Revised: Tooltips for Output Options window.

· Revised: Checkbox texts and layout of Output Options window.

0.8.004.126

· Updated database.

· Enhancement: info about installed IE8 packages is now shown on the first screen.

· Enhancement: search for missing files if download fails. So you can download them manually.

· Fixed: ADFS and AD LDS were shown as possible on server core.

· Fixed: Direct Access 20 was shown as possible on server core or embedded images.

· Fixed: 2685051 was offered as normal update but it’s for IIS. (Thanks to PointZero)

· Fixed: 2695401 was not found on my server. (Thanks to drizzle)

· Fixed: Download button was not enabled in some situations.

0.8.004.123

· Updated database.

· Number of known updates 1103.

· Fixed: All known issues.

· Fixed: filename for IE9 language packs.

· Fixed: if you use a wrong switch KUC will no longer treat that as input file and displays an error.

· Fixed: if user unchecked “check for superseded updates” missing superseded updates were not added to the copier.

· Fixed: some IE8 packages where marked as REMOVEONLINE even if check for IE8 updates was selected.

· Added: getpackages.cmd now creates the dism log-file in the working folder.

· Updated “OLD for BAD” folders on web server

· Added: Installation of LP for IE9. (Already installed LP will not be shown)
NOTE
Do not try to add IE9 languages packs of a language that is not supported by the installed OS languages!
Dism will start the installation and result in Error: 0x800f0830 “The specified image is no longer serviceable.”
For online installations:
If you start dism again you get: Error: 3017
“The requested operation failed. A system reboot is required to roll back changes made.”
Unfortunately, that does not work.
The only solution that works is a repair / update installation of Windows.
I ended up in that error while testing the new IE LP option.
I wanted to give a list of all LPs the user could select.
The only save method to check if a LP is suitable for the installed languages is installation via the .msu file.
I changed the program to offer only LPs for languages already installed. This is a strict compare; that means:
a LP is only offered, if the exact OS LP is installed. Since there are round about 90 LP for IE9 but only 35 OS for windows 7,
there must be some IE9 LPs that could be installed on the same OS LP.
If you don’t see “Add LP for IE9” you have already installed all possible LP.

0.8.004.104
You can see, there are many changes this time. Most of them are a result of the new command line options for DVD and VHD images.
How to integrate updates into a DVD image
How to integrate updates into a VHD

· Updated database.

· Number of known updates 1102.

· Added: KUC now can install IE9 (useful for DVD/VHD images).

· Added: command line switch /VHD-drive:H:\
Use this switch to maintain VHD volumes of virtual machines.
There is only one difference between /DVD-image-dir: and /VHD-drive:
DVD prohibited updates will not be removed, if they are installed.
(It may by possible that “online only” updates can be installed too, but I am not sure about that yet.)

· Fixed: The options you selected on “Select Output Options” were not correctly shown at Program End.

· Fixed: Not all needed IE8 updates where shown.

· Fixed: broken download link on KUC internet page and Documentation.

· Changes in remover: All packages are now removed with the /norestart option.
For online removals, a system restart is added at the end of the commandlet.

· Fixed: If the DVD-image-dir folder did not exist, KUC displayed a wrong error message, showing the repo folder name instead.

· Fixed: quotes removed around %option% in Update_Normal.cmd.

· Added: If the /up-dir: switch is used, the packages.txt file will be created in the working folder, if it exists.
NOTE: Changing the working folder later in the program will not affect the location of packages.txt.

· Added: Check if offline folder is empty. (“No image was mounted?”)

· Added: /Logfile option to dism.log in working folder for the remover.

· Added: echo time in remover.

· NOTE: If you are maintaining VM- or DVD-images, disabling the virus scanner may be a good advice (BUT: caution).

· Advice: If you have to remove more than 100 packages (VHD or ONLINE) you should restart after 100 removals before you continue.
That will make things quicker.

· Added for offline processing: do not add a newer version of an update to an offline image as long as the old version exists.

· Added for offline processing: remove the new and the old version, if more than one version is installed.

· Added: display the right order to use the commandlets.

· Added: display ONLINE|DVD-image|VHD-drive in the window title.

· Added: KUC version as last line in packages_out.txt

· Fixed: Bad download link for 2660649.

· Advice: If you have to install a large amount of updates, you can remove the “pause” lines in the update commandlets.
(useful for overnight installations)

·    Added: check for \”
NOTE: Do not use a \” to terminate a folder in the command line options.
Skip the \ or skip the ”.
For example don’t use
                     /up-dir:”c:\wu\”
Due to an error in .net this is interpreted as
                     /up-dir:c:\wu”
and brakes the command line arguments past to the program.

Use /up-dir:”c:\wu” or /up-dir:c:\wu instead.

Especially, if you point to the root folder of a drive, do not use

                     /DVD-Image-dir:”F:\”

use               / DVD-Image-dir::F:\     instead.

This is not a KUC issue. You can reproduce this with dism also.

0.8.004.003

· Updated database.

· Number of known updates 1099.

· No program changes / No known issues.

0.8.004.002

· New command line switch for offline integration /DVD-Image-dir:”f:\offline”.
Replace “f:\offline” with the folder you mount your wim image.
Note: This is a first try of this new option, so handle with care.
Specials for this switch:
1. No DVD prohibited updates will be offered to install.
2. If you have already installed one of this updates they will be marked as removable.
3. Limit for max Updates disabled.
4. The offline folder is automatically set in the cmd files.
5. No reboot after running update.cmd
(more to come)

· Updated database.

· Updated GDR to Keep.

0.8.003.026

· New other Addition DA.

· Updated database.

0.8.003.025

· Added new KUC-State “OK/INFO”: update is installed, but some additional actions may be needed.
From time to time I will update this for old updates.
It’s a new KUC-State, so I have to go trough all the updates to look if, for example, a registry change is needed.
It will also be a little bit complicated, if an updates is superseded the registry-change may still be needed.
Actually there is only one hotfix marked with this (2655998).

· Fixed: some corrupted hotfixes on my server (2555958x64, 2456741x64, 2477042x64).

· Fixed: text on startup screen for creating offline-image packages.txt file.

· Fixed: if using /OnlyCabs all .msu were downloaded, not only the missing once. (Thanks to Jekyll40 for finding the issues)

· Updated database.

0.8.003.022

· BUG-fix: version-check.

· Change AD LDS assignment on servers.

· Added: Command line option /OnlyCabs (for ricktendo64).

· BUG-fix: create updater not always was checked, if there were missing updates.

· Version-checking now informs if reference version is also installed.

· Updated database.

· During program testing I forget to remove download link to old version 0.7.002.475. (Thanks to PointZero for finding that issue)
You must download this version manually. http://windows-update-checker.com/download/KUC%20UpdateChecker-Beta-v.0.8.003.022.zip
(Also note: I renamed the original version 0.7.002.475 to 0.7.002.475a and placed version 0.8.3.22 in the 0.7.2.475.zip)

0.8.003.002

· Updates of the repo folder are now copied from subfolders (Thanks to ADamb for suggestion).
Note: Downloader will still save files in the main repo folder

· Updated database.

· Number of known updates 1045.

0.8.001.273

· Some minor bugs removed.

0.8.001.272

· New update downloader inside of KUC.
This downloader allows you to download missing updates
directly inside of KUC. The old method via wget is removed.
KUC now downloads missing updates from 3 different servers,
so a maximum of 9 simultaneously downloads is possible.
This eliminates the need of downloading the very large .7z files.
You only download what you really need; with impressive download speed.
The updates will be downloaded to the repository folder. I think that makes sense,
one folder to collect the updates, one work folder to update the system.

· Updated database.

· Number of known updates 1000.

· A lot of minor bugs removed.

· New auto check for KUC version-update and internal downloader.

· Solved BUG that 1 update was missing in the output file.

· Maximum number of updates now is editable.

· This will be the last KUC version I publish on mediafire.

· Thanks again to PointZero for extensive bug checking.

0.7.003.005

· Updated database.

· Number of known updates 988

· This time there were so many database changes, so I didn’t change anything other.

0.7.002.502

· “BAD” updates did not download

· Windows6.1-KB2603229-x64.msu was corrupt on my server

· Position of IE counter corrected

· Position of Option window 2 corrected, for font scaling

· Win7 does not wait for “RMDIR” or “RD” to complete (some computer), that’s a strange behaviour.
I add a loop to wait in the cmd files
If you see the “wait for RMDIR” to long (more than some seconds) the folder to remove is in use.
Cancel the cmd; close open programs; start the cmd again

· Update.cmd does not contain Update_LDR any more, if BAD packages were found.
So you can always call update.cmd

· The pause after 10 removes is removed in the remover (I like that sentence)

· If an old version of 2506143 is installed, it now gets KUC-State REMOVE and the newer version
gets “ADD/LATER”. After removing the old version, remember to install 2506143 exclusively.
I suggest: Do not install 2506143. I had problems on my 2008R2 server with the
installation of the Rollup-Update for SP1 of Exchange 2010 (a powershell cmd failed).
After removing 2506143 no problems.
Also don’t integrate it into an installation DVD. Setup will not work.
Note that 2506143 requires .Net 4.0 which is normally not installed in the DVD.
Since the KUC-state is now ADD/EXCLUSIVE, it will not install automatically

· change offline installation line to /image:c:\offline in updater (Thanks to dolivas)

· packages.txt file can now be unicode-encoded (Special for RickSteele)

0.7.002.477

· In the last version the numbers of the superseding updates were missing. (Thanks to PointZero)

· Update.cmd will now correctly be placed in the working folder.

· Updated database.

· If there was a delimiter in the work folder name, copy_Files_2_add did not work correctly. (Thanks to RickSteele)

0.7.002.476

· Updated database

· Updated download links to KUC.mattern.it\hotfix

0.7.002.475

· Download of missing updates now working.
To use this option, place wget.exe in the Update-Folder
From this version on its best to place KUC in the update working folder
wget.exe must be found in the path or placed in the same folder where Copy_Files_2_add.cmd is created.

· Updated database

· Mirror spelling corrections

0.7.002.467

· Downgrade .net requirements from 4.0 to 3.5 to use KUC on a fresh installed system.

· Checking for Admin rights at program start

· Checking if output file is open at program start and retry option

· Moving of inactive window now possible

· Increase checking and output speed

· Server Grouppolicy and VMdriver are checked by default.

· New Select Option: KUC use “GDR/LDR to keep” to avoid 'update available':
Some superseded updates pop up with 'new updates are available', if they are not installed.
If you check this box, KUC will take care that these updates are installed.
If you uncheck this box you have to hide these updates manually. (right click on the update + select hide update).

· “Copy_Files_2_add” now divides updates in Normal and LDR updates.

· “Copy_Files_2_add” now checks if all files were copied.

· You now can minimize all KUC windows to bring Excel “to the top”.

· You can create “update.cmd” files to install Normal and/or LDR updates.

· Limit the number of updates to serve to 75 as option.

· Normal Updates will be installed via .cab files to avoid dism error 0x80070032. LDR updates via update-bf.mum.

·         New BAD packages resolver.
If KUC finds BAD packages in your installations, KUC creates cmd files to solve the problem. You must not change any options, only the “from” and “to” folders.
First                 run “Copy_files_2_add.cmd”;
second             run “update_Normal.cmd”;
then restart your system and run KUC again.
If the above procedure does not solve you problem run “Remove_old.cmd”

· New command line options: “/repo-dir:” and “/up-dir:”
Use a shortcut to KUC and call KUC with the /repo-dir: and/or the /up-dir: switch
If you do this you don’t have to set the folders every time you run KUC.

·       Normal Update installation:
First                 run “Copy_files_2_add.cmd”;
second             run “update.cmd” in the “WU” folder;
then restart your system and run KUC again.
Note: some updates require other updates to be installed first, so allow some DISM error messages. For online installations, you should run “Remove_old.cmd” after all updates are installed. For image installations, you should always run the remover first.

· Moving output options to a separate window + adding a lot new output options.

· Show overview of the KUC-States at the output windows

· Option to create Remove_old.cmd

· Option to create Copy_files_2_add.cmd

· Possibility to select a update repository (see also /repo-dir: switch)

· Possibility to select a working folder

· Option to create update.cmd

· Option to limit the number of updates

· Known BUGS: For server installations, keep care that the correct 917607 is placed in your repository folder, else KUC will always install and remove the (wrong) client version.

0.6.015.024

· Resolved program BUG: blanks in Remove_old.cmd

· Resolved database BUG: 2656946 is for server RSAT or ADLDS but was shown as normal

0.6.015.022

· Implementation of Update List 2012-02-17

· Number of known updates = 927.

· Add new variable %dest% to remove_old.cmd for offline images.

· 2. Try Position of second screen moved for small resolutions.

0.6.014.007

· Implementation of Update List 2012-02-02.

· Added: New option to ignore “OK”-state updates in the Output list.

· Position of second screen moved for small resolutions.

· New copy_files_2_add.cmd file. Use this file to copy needed update files form a repository folder to an update directory.
Inside this cmd-file are two set variables that you must modify to match your needs.
Repo_Path is the folder where your update repository (all updates you have) lays.
Update_Path is the folder where the updates are copied to (working folder). From this folder you can update your system. Note: The Update_path folder must exist.
(Next version will contain a possibility to change the folder variables directly.)

0.6.013.036

· Updated Update database

0.6.013.035

· Implementation of Update List 2012-01-15a (there was a version error for 2615128)

· Added 2644615 for x86 as GDR to keep

0.6.013.034

· Bugs fixed. Some BPA and ADLDS packages were displayed as missing. (I used a W7xE64 instead of W7x64). Sorry. Added 2644615 for x64 as GDR to keep.)

0.6.013.032

· Implementation of Update List 2012-01-15

· New “Remove_old.cmd” file created at the end of the program.

· Now it is possible to select the features you want updates for.

· New Select option use ‘force LDR install’

· New “Show Totals” / “Show Details” toggle button.

· Total shows values after you perform the cleanup and update installation.

· KUC automatically checks/unchecks the boxes for you. If you did not use ‘force LDR install’ before, KUC will uncheck the box. If KUC does not find and IIS update installed, the IIS checkbox is unchecked else checked. And so on.
Note:
If ‘force LDR install’ is unchecked all installed BF packages will be marked as removable. In addition, ‘check for updates that are present as GDR and LDR’ is disabled then.
If you uncheck a feature update, all installed packages for this feature will also get KUC-State “REMOVE/FORCE”.
If Hyper-V updates are unchecked, you cannot check for remoteFx updates.
There are still some limitations if an update belongs to more than one feature and/or addition.

· Corrections: Tooltip assignment; Client BPA now disabled for x86; check for server additions now disabled for client foundations. Calculation of missing packages in Select Check Options 1 window.(still faulty)

· Changed Calculation of add and remove packages. If there is a version-update of a package it now counts twice: one for add (new version) and one for remove (old version).

0.6.011.214

· I made a lot of changes in this version, so please report any bugs you find to my support email address (packages.txt and selected options included).

· Also I changed a lot in the description of KUC so read the first post (again).

· The names of the other Additions KUC found are now shown as tooltip, if you move the mouse over the other Additions found text.

· Implementation of Server-Additions

· Output file now contains the new column [KUC-Type]

· Details for other Additions

· Updated tooltip texts.

· Split Check Options and Final Overview window, now there are two windows.

· New calculations for the number of packages present, to add or to remove.

· The “Superseded” and “GDR with LDR:” numbers are wrong and I disabled them in the published version.

· I don’t have any problems with 2592546 on Intel processor systems, so I added an option to use it. To use 2592546 call the program with the command line switch “/use2592546” (option will be removed after new version of 2592546 is out).

· The KUC-State for online-only updates, like 2603229, was always set to IGNORE, now the KUC-State depends on the installation state. (KUC assumes an online packages.txt file, if installation state is “Installed”.

· Date of Update-List in version 6.8.12 was mistakenly shown as 2011-12-30.

0.6.008.012 Full reference for Storage Server 2008R2 essential, Small Business Server 2011 essential and Home Server 2011.
Implementation of Update List 2011-12-31. (new types and updates)

0.6.007.245 Bug fix: All missing updates were ignored when checking servers.
Removing quotes in Notepad Output-File.
Added: Generic support for Windows Storage Server 2008R2, Windows Small Business Server 2011 and Windows Home Server 2011. I don’t have a reference file at the moment (points to WMS2011), so there may be (only a few for hyper-v) updates shown as missing, that do not apply. Also the Rollup-updates for those servers will not be shown as missing. (coming up soon)
New check-option: “other additions” (these are all addition, that are not scanned separately. Like : “WinHelp”, “NTBackup”, “Fmapi”, “MS agent”, …)
Server Updates for “failover cluster”, “hyper-v”, “media-server” and “remoteFx” are now classified to separate them from other updates. (check-options for them are planed)
Fixed known bugs.

0.6.002.146 Implementation of Update List 2012-12-22.
Now it’s possible to create/open an output file for Notepad.
New KUC-State “BAD/IGNORE”: Some problematic update installation result in a package state “Not Present”. You can’t remove these packages directly. Normally the re-installation for the GDR and/or LDR version of the update resets this faulty state.
If you didn’t remove old RTM updates that are superseded by SP1, you now get a warning message at the end of the program and “OLD RTM foundation parts found” text is displayed.
New KUC-State “ADD/EXCLUSIVE”: Some updates should be installed exclusively. Don’t install those updates with any other packages together.
Updated and more detailed [KUC-StateRemarks]
New check-options: Virtual PC (VPC), Windows Identity Foundation (WIF), Windows Update Agent (WUA)

0.5.113.618 Implementation of Update List 2012-12-18.
2592546 set to “do not install” or “REMOVE”; this update contains faulty code.

0.5.113.617 Implementation of Update List 2012-12-16. All Updates of the last patch day included.
Updated “GDR to keep” database.
2619234 was not found as installed.
Fixed checking of “present as GDR and LDR” for IE9 updates didn’t work.

0.5.112.613 Change name of ADD/REMOVE to REMOVE/ADD to make it clearer that you have to remove the old version before adding the new version.
Local Packs are set to OK by default or IGNORE, if RTM version found.
Better handling of special packages.
Improved searching of superseded updates.
Implementation of Update List 2012-12-13.
Adding special routine to manage Windows-Update-Agent updates.
Fixed known bugs.

0.5.110.589 I forgot that there are a few people on the world that use different date/time formats! I changed input and output format of [Install Time] to string. If the computer you created the packages.txt file and the computer you check this file have different date/time formats, Excel will show wrong installation date.

0.5.110.587 initial release
