Downloading Windows Update Agent 5.8.02469

Filed under: Microsoft, Windows — Jalaj @ 8:39 pm
Tags: , , , ,

I heard a few cries for help on the web looking for Windows Update Agent 5.8.02469.

“Can someone plz tell me where I can download windows update agent 5.8.02469?”

“How to get the Windows Update Agent 5.8.02469 which is needed to install windows Live?”

A search on Google should have pointed to a page from microsoft for the download but unfortunately the pages shown are from other illegal download sites. Querying further I reached a Microsoft page that indeed tells how to download the latest Windows Update Agent. The steps to be performed are :

1) Download http://update.microsoft.com/redist/wuredist.cab from microsoft site.

2) Open the cabinet file and you will find an xml manifest wuredist.xml. Open it using notepad or so. The lines wuld look similar to those below

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<WURedist>
  <StandaloneRedist Version="30">
    <architecture name="x86" clientVersion="7.0.6000.381"
downloadUrl="http://download.windowsupdate.com/WindowsUpdate/redist/standalone/
7.0.6000.381/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe"/>
    <architecture name="x64" clientVersion="7.0.6000.381"
downloadUrl="http://download.windowsupdate.com/WindowsUpdate/redist/standalone/
7.0.6000.381/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe"/>
    <architecture name="ia64" clientVersion="7.0.6000.381"
downloadUrl="http://download.windowsupdate.com/WindowsUpdate/redist/standalone/
7.0.6000.381/WindowsUpdateAgent30-ia64.exe"/>
    <MUAuthCab RevisionId="6"
DownloadURL="http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/
MUAuth.cab"/>
  </StandaloneRedist>
</WURedist>

3) Check the DownloadUrl attribute (as per your OS architechture x86, x64, ia64) for the download url from where you can get the download file. Say for 32 bit x86 platform download url would be
http://download.windowsupdate.com/…/7.0.6000.381/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

4) Download and it’s done. Install it as you would do with any other software. The version thus downloaded would be the latest one and would work fine for the requirement of 5.8.02469 or later

  5. it works great thanx btw here is a tip the links u see in the xcab are the files address itself just copy and past the ver that fits urs and ur set :)

    Comment by prometheus — February 8, 2008 @ 4:54 am

  6. Since the latest version fits all and that the software is free for download why go for less? There is nothing as “ver that fits urs” all such error messages (specifically in Windows Live Installer) are mentioning “5.8.02469 or later”.

  58. If you want to know how to find your OS architechture x86, x64, ia64… go to start/run/msinfo32/system type. There you should see if its x86, x64 or ia64 based.
