Remarks

To copy bundled updates, call this method on the individual updates that are bundled in this update.

Note  We don't recommend or support the use of the IUpdate::CopyFromCache and IUpdate2::CopyToCache methods to move downloaded updates from one computer to another computer. When the Windows Update Agent (WUA) downloads an update, it might only download the portions of the update’s payload that are necessary for a particular client computer. The necessary portions of the update’s payload can often vary from one computer to another computer, even if the computers have similar hardware and software configurations. IUpdate2::CopyToCache only works if the provided files are an exact match for the files that Windows Update would have normally downloaded on that computer; if you called IUpdate::CopyFromCache to obtain the files on a different computer, the files are likely not to match the files that Windows Update would have normally downloaded so IUpdate2::CopyToCache might fail.
