...
This option is obviously very useful when testing and debugging WuInstall scripts or when running WuInstall with a scheduled job or on remote machines.
/logfile_append file-to-log
/log_as_ansi
This option creates a ANSI-logfile. It must be combined with /logfile or /log_append.
/maxruntime minutes
For example, with /maxruntime 5, WuInstall exits after 5 minutes displaying
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Maxruntime timeout elapsed: 5, exiting process! |
Use this option with caution, especially when using the /use_wsus or /bypass_wsus options!
/simple_error
With this option, WuInstall returns 0 for any success and 1 for any error, regardless of the reason.
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Simple result specified, returning 0 for success! |
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Simple result specified, returning 1 for error! |
/show_progress
This feature is not recommended for the productive use of WuInstall!
/offline
This option is quite useful for searching already installed updates. The criteria "IsInstalled=1" and the /uninstall option automatically trigger an offline search.

When not using IsInstalled=1, the search result list usually contains the updates found at the last online search.
/quiet
The update-installer is forced to do an installation without user interaction.
/disableprompt
Disables showing source prompts to a user when installing the updates.
/silent
Suppresses any console output (log file option is still working).
