Portable Update is used to update a computer located on a secure LAN isolated from the internet.





Portable Update is perfect to use in situations such as:

When there is no access or can't use a proxy server;

When it's necessary to completely update a freshly-formatted computer with the last update before connecting to the network;

When the computer doesn’t have a hardware network connection at all;

When the network connection speed is too low or it's necessary to update the computer very quickly;

In all the other cases when it's mandatory to have complete control on the updating process without connecting the computer to the network.

To update an isolated computer, Portable Update uses an external cache to store updates.

The cache can reside on any usb external drive or, via private lan network, on a shared path. Once an update is copied to the cache (the only time that an internet connection is required), the same update will be used for all computers that need that particular update.

You'll never download the same file twice to update different computers. For example, consider that the dimension of one single update can reach and exceed 1 GByte!

Once the update is stored into the cache folder, the program will use standard Windows Update API services to update your computer.

Different updates from different operating systems can reside on the same cache folder because they are individually identified.

As a result, you can see the update in the standard update history log exactly as it was done from the normal Windows Update site!

Keep in mind, Portable Update requires internet connection for first time use in order to download the necessary tools. Make sure to extract the required files and not just try and run it....
