Description
===========
WinUpdatesList displays the list of all Windows updates (Service Packs
and Hotfixes) installed on your local computer. For hotfix updates, this
utility also displays the list of files updated with these hotfixes. In
addition, it allows you to instantly open the Web link in Microsoft Web
site that provides more information about the selected update, uninstall
an update, copy the update information to the clipboard, or save it to
text/HTML/XML file.
System Requirements
===================

Using WinUpdatesList
====================
WinUpdatesList is a standalone program, so it doesn't require any
installation or additional DLLs. In order to start using it, just copy it
to any folder you like, and run it. If you want, you can also install
WinUpdatesList on your computer with uninstall support, by downloading
and running the self-install executable file.
The main window of WinUpdatesList contains 2 panes: The upper pane
displays the list of all updates installed on your computer. When you
select an hotfix in the upper pane, the lower pane display the list of
files installed with the selected hotfix.
If you want to get more information about a specific update, select the
desired item in the upper pane, and then from the File menu (or from the
popup menu) choose 'Open Web Link'. This option opens your browser with a
Web page in Microsoft site that provides information about the selected
Windows update.
Notice: Some operations, like saving to file or copying to the clipboard,
are performed on the pane that currently has the focus. For example: If
you press Ctrl+C while the lower pane is focused, the selected files list
will be copied to the clipboard. If the upper pane has the focus, the
selected updates in the upper pane will be copied.
Connecting to another operating system (Windows 2000/XP only)
=============================================================
Starting from v1.11, WinUpdatesList provides 2 methods for viewing the
Windows Updates of another operating system:
1. On local computer: If you have more than one instance of Windows
2000/XP operating system on the same computer, you can view the
Windows updates list of the other operating system by using /another
command-line parameter.
For example:
wul.exe /another e:\winnt
The second parameter specifies the Windows folder of the operating
system.
Be aware that when you use this option, WinUpdatesList loads the
Registry of the other operating system as a new hive under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and than unloads it after you exit from
WinUpdatesList.
2. On remote computer: If you have a remote computer with Windows
2000/XP operating system, your can view the Windows updates list of
this computer by using /remote command-line parameter.
For example:
wul.exe /remote \\192.168.0.10
You must connect the remote computer with administrative rights in
order that this option will work properly. It's also recommended to
enable admin shares (C$, D$, and so on) on the remote computer.
Translating to another language
===============================
WinUpdatesList allows you to easily translate all menus, dialog-boxes,
and other strings to other languages.
In order to do that, follow the instructions below:
1. Run WinUpdatesList with /savelangfile parameter:
wul.exe /savelangfile
A file named wul_lng.ini will be created in the folder of
WinUpdatesList utility.
2. Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text
editor.
3. Translate all menus, dialog-boxes, and string entries to the
desired language.
4. After you finish the translation, Run WinUpdatesList, and all
translated strings will be loaded from the language file.
If you want to run WinUpdatesList without the translation, simply
rename the language file, or move it to another folder.
