Here's what I believe to be the current "base version" url:
http://www.download.windowsupdate.c..._58bca01406d95f74d6d52a9268f125581aa6917a.exe
i.e. - if your defs are at 0.0 and you have no internet access, this file is
what you need to get started. Anybody want to post the URL for the delta
version 1506.7?

Hi Bill, went to update history and both updates succeeded - Fri. June 16th
definition update 1.14.1503.8 (KB915597) and Tues. June 20th definition
update 1.14.1506.7 (KB915597). Curious about the same KB #s , since this
number is related to downloaded but unable to install errors in search. I've
recieved no error msgs, so i'm not sure if my updates installed. Your reply
includes a download, what is this ? Thanks Ron

Sorry for the confusion--I really should have posted that as a new thread.
Definition updates always have the same KB number--they are viewed, I think,
as revisions.
There have been nearly zero definition update problems that don't have
simple explanations posted since approximately 3 weeks ago or so when some
change was made to the process which has improved things--so searches are
not as helpful as you might think. We will still see definition update
problem posts as the Microsoft Antispyware users convert over to Windows
Defender--because of the change in the update mechanism which results in
many corporate users being unable to update directly.
Definition updates are now delta updates--meaning that the file is quite
small, and contains just the info needed to bring a base (and much larger)
set of updates to current status.
So--if you have a machine which effectively doesn't have access to
definitions, you need both the base update set and the current delta update
set. What I posted was the base update set.
And all of this is detail which almost no one needs to worry about--the
average user should just enable autoupdate, and not worry about it.

I'm confused then--I had thought that was a full-file update to some
previous version which would then require a delta update to bring current,
but the only user whose feedback I have states that it brought him current.
So--presumably that is 1506.7 full file update. I know I have seen a
different URL for a delta, but don't have that handy.
