Windows Embedded Standard 7 WEDU updates do not install


I use WEDU to search for updates and to download and install them to my WES7 SP1 Distribution Share. I have done that many times before and it usually works fine. I want to make a configuration set of updates and security updates, that I can apply to an existing image.

Now I tried using WEDU again WEDU finds 4 updates that it needs to download and install. WEDU shows 4 updates I “Select all” and click “Download and Install” After the install has completed, I get a dialog box that tells me that 4 items were successfully installed. So far so good. I then start up ICE and look for the 4 updates. I can’t find them.

I then start WEDU again and press “Start Scan” The result is that it finds the exact same 4 updates for download. And so it goes around and around in circles.

I have had a look in the folder structure of my distribution share and I cannot find the updates.

Why aren't the updates being installed to my Distribution share and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance

(WEDU has version 2.0.0695.0)
