Manually import the Windows patching utilities

If you are working in Microsoft Offline Catalog patching mode and you did not install the Windows patch management files during core installation, get the following Microsoft files from a machine with internet access and add them to the core.

If you need to work in a tightly secured environment, consider switching to WSUS patching mode as this enables you to get Windows patches from a WSUS server on your network.
