Hi,
this software looks so good an i would like to use it. But it does not work. I have a new fresh test environment with a Windows 2012 Server with WSUS as an DC an two Clients (Windows 7 and Windows 8). Everything is up to date an WSUS itself works. All systems are x64. I use WPP an the server and published Acrobat Reader with updates to the Win7-Client.
After tha, i tried to use Custom Updates to distribute Java, but this does not work at all. I had so much trouble to create the customer update, because everytime the wizard hang with no response. I have to logout, to start the customer update wizard again. Once i was able to configure an distribute a customer update, but the installation was not possbile on the clients (Win7 and Win8). The updateclients recognized the update and can download ist, but after that i get an error with code 643 or 0x80070643. .NET 3.5 shoud be active on both clients.
How can i find out, what is missing or wrong? Is there a possibility to execute customerupdateengine.exe on the client to install the update without the use of windows update?
When i have so much trouble to get this solution to work, is there anybody using it in a productiv environment with WSUS on Windows 2012 an Win7 and Win8-Clients (x64)?
Maybe somebody can help me, thank you.

Comments: Thank you, austianian, very much. I tested a paket by copying the cap-File to the client, extracted it with 7-zip to a folder, started an cmd, went into the folder an started the execution with "customupdateengine.exe \actionfile=[filename].xml", thats speeds up testing. I started the execution as an Domain-Administrator on an Windows 7-Domainclient an found the logfile in the %temp%-Folder of the user (Domain\Administrator) Maybe somebody can help me with the execution of the program customerupdateengine.exe. It still hangs so often. I have to kill the process. When i start it again, i have the same trouble. After a while it works again. Does anybody have the same experiences?
