Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Update / September 2007IE 6 manual update?
There used to be a way to download updates manually. This seems to be now impossible. Or is there a workaround? What about torrent sites? Can people post the files there? Will they work if they do? I really don't want to connect an unupdated, vulnerable computer to the internet before I have the updates. It seems rather illogical when you think about it. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/summary.mspx | There used to be a way to download updates manually.

Any idea if there's one that's relevant? :) Pick the relevant updates in the appropriate month? |> | There used to be a way to download updates manually. This seems to be | > | now impossible.

Wouldn't you want the latest month? I just want to bring my machine that is currently offline, up to date without going online to do it. > | |> | There used to be a way to download updates manually.

They download a small executable that necessitates the computer to be online to retrieve the update. Or did I miss something? Yes, you missed something. Keep following all the links, and you'll get to the manual downloads. |> | |> | There used to be a way to download updates manually. This seems to be | >> | > | now impossible.

You can bring it up to date manually by download *all* of the updates from all of the months you don't have. || |> | There used to be a way to download updates manually.

Since I have several machines that are basically indentical in terms of os, IE, and directx, office, and wmp, etc. I usually let the windows update site scan, then instead of letting it update automattically, I click on more info and download the manual install exe for each one. Then all I have to do I deploy the updates to the rest of my machines. Or try this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913086 |
