- ProductName

- Platform
- The operating system of the product.
- Current Version
- The version number of the base product.
- local-registry-version-key
- The registry key of the product.
- local-registry-version_value
- The registry key value of the product.
- install-new-cmdline
- Install the update as a new installation of the product.
- install-update-cmdline
- Install the update as a product patch. The product remains installed.
- install-repair-cmdline
- Install the update using the repair process. The product remains installed but the core files and registry files are reinstalled too.
- ProductAvailable
- Specifies if the update is available or not for client systems. Can be specified globally or in a specific filter. The filter section take priority over the global section.
- FilterIP
- Specifies the IP addresses or ranges of IP addresses selected for the update.
* matches zero or more allowed characters.
? matches any allowed character exactly one time.
When using * or ? globs the IP address strings are compared literally.
For example IPv6 address fc00::100 matches filter fc00::1* but not the filter fc00::01*. Since the operating system never returns an IPv6 address in the format fc00::0100, but fc00::100, the filter fc00::01* never matches.
Example: 1.2.3.4;1.2.3.*;1.2.3.1*;1.2.3.1*1;1.2.3.?;1.2.3.1?;1.2.3.1?1;1.2.3.4/32;1.2.3.4/24;1.2.3.0/255.255.255.0;fc00::100;fc00::*;fc00::1*;fc00::1*1;fc00::?;fc00::1?;fc00::1?1;fc00::100/64 where:
