Use the Export Wizard in System Center Updates Publisher to export the selected software updates to a cabinet (CAB) file or to export all software updates with the publish flag set to a CAB file.

Note
System Center Updates Publisher 4.0 added support for updates that have dependencies, such as drivers and bundles. During the export process for these updates, the update and its dependencies are exported. Updates with dependencies that are not in the local Updates Publisher database can be exported, but a warning message might display before the export process completes. Updates with dependencies cannot be exported for testing.
