link to wuredist.cab not found 404 - MBSA

[iowaprogrammer]

We having been using the following link

http://update.microsoft.com/redist/wuredist.cab

to download the the latest file for use with MBSA to determine what patches are needed for our windows 7 machines. I was able to get it last month (July 2012). But this month I ram recieving the Server error - 404 file or directory not found. Does anyone know why this has begun to occurr and is there a work around? We currently use the wuredist.cab along with the wsusscan2 file with MBSA to determine what patches we need to get for the month while being offline as none of our computers have access to the internet.

Sorry, not a solution, but a great alternative for offline patching.

Just started working and have been able to download the file as of Wednesday afternoon. Had been trying to get it for over a week.

Regardless - take a look at the other product just to "inform" yourself.
