windows update - how to...
Author
hi,
i have a small problem regarding windows automatic update functionality:
recently i downloaded some updates, but i didn't install them directly after downloading, instead i clicked away the notification and disabled the "notify-me-in-..."-option.
now, i know that there are at least 10 updates already downloaded, but i can't active this dialog/application to install the already downloaded ones... i know for sure, there is a simple exe file, or something else, allowing me to deploy the already downloaded updates - but i can't find it !?
does anyone know, which file to execute to bring up this install-assistent ?
any help is greatly appreciated.

@Mushu:
no no, you misunderstood me - the option, mentioned by you, guides me only to the webpage on the internet - but i have already downloaded the updates, and they are stored on my harddisk, somewhere - the only info i need is, how to bring up this installing assistent.
and yes: i also tried executing "winupd2.exe", the file where the startmenuoption "Windows Update" is pointing to - but this has also the same effect: i'm ending up visiting the windowsupdate.com page.
there must be a option how to bring up this assistent, i'm pretty sure about this - but i don't know how where :(
thanks in advance.

What about the "review and install" link on the Windows Update webpage? That might be what you're looking for. (hopefully)

i can't access internet because this is a new machine, and when i'm connected after 5 - 10 minutes i got crashed because of the last-year-virus (i forgot the name!) which is shutting down your machine.
BUT:
i solved it due a small workaround:
i setted windows to update each day at 1900 PM; i switched the clock to 1859PM and ... voila: the assistant pops up !
thanks for your help, nevertheless.

For future reference: "shutdown -a" aborts the Windows shutdown procedure - a good weapon against, for example, Blaster worm.
Try looking for a "WUtemp" folder on your hard disk. I think Windows stores downloaded updates in there.
