WuInstall enforces Windows updates and makes the entire updating process user friendly. The basic version WuInstall 1.1. is freeware. The most important features like searching for updates, downloading and installing them are supported and also some more, like the possibility to manage the reboot behavior.
You can find more information about all available features in the table below, at the HowTos and the new WuInstall Documentation.
| Basic Options |
| /search |
Lists all update which are available. It either searches on the Windows Update Server in the Internet, or, if configured, on your WSUS. It has no impact on your system at all, it just does a search ans lists what was found. |
| /download |
Does the same search as WuInstall /search and then downloads the updates which were found. WuInstall itself does not download anything, but it triggers the Microsoft Windwos Update Engine, which downloads the updates. |
| /install |
This option first executes exactly the same as /download (=searching and downloading updates) and then starts installing the downloaded updates. |
| Reboot / Shutdown Options |
| /reboot [nseconds] |
This option initiates a system reboot with a delay of the specified number of seconds (nseconds) after the execution of WuInstall. If no time is specified, 10 seconds are used by default. |
| /reboot_force |
Forces a reboot after executing WuInstall after nseconds (or default 10) seconds, it does not matter if a reboot is needed or not. Open programms are forced to be closed. |
| Criteria Options |
| /criteria “query string” |
Specifies the criteria with which the updates are searched on the server (Windows Update Site or WSUS). If no criteria is specified, WuInstall searches by default for software (no drivers!) which has not yet been installed. So the default criteria is: IsInstalled=0 and Type='Driver'. |
| Filter Options |
| /match “search string” |
This option filters each update in the result list if the title of an update matches the specified search string (in WuInstall Pro, also regular expressions are possible). |
