I've attached RAR5 compressed files with lists of download links for all official updates for Vista 32-bit and 64-bit Post SP2 up to April 2017. Includes all language packs for Vista, IE9 and local Help update. Also included are Ultimate Extras, Optionals and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 / 4.52 with updates. Superseded updates are not included except for a few ones just to satisfy Windows Update. Hotfixes are not included, unless available through Windows Update. Someone please mirror them on Web Archive. ASAP. EDIT: Updated files with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Language Packs. Installing System Updates: If you want to install a language pack, you must do it first, by downloading and running the language pack executable. 1) Download all files from Main_URLs.txt to the same folder. 2) Using WinRAR, sort files by type and unpack all .MSU files to the same folder, overwriting existing files. Then you may delete the .MSU files to save space. 3) Unpack the WindowsVistaSP2_x86_Installer.rar or WindowsVistaSP2_x64_Installer.rar (just batch files) to the same folder where you extracted the files. 4) Open a Command Prompt with Administrator privileges and switch to the folder where the update files are. 5) Run Main_Part1.bat, Main_Part2.bat and Main_Part3.bat. At the end of execution of every batch file, Windows will restart automatically. 6) Optionally you may install local copy of Help update (LangPacks_Help_URLs.txt) and the IE9 language pack (LangPacks_IE9_URLs.txt). PS: It'll take a while to install all 210+ updates. Installing .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 / 4.52 with updates: 1) Download all files from NDP35_45_URLs.txt to the same folder. 2) Unpack the WindowsVistaSP2_x86_Installer.rar or WindowsVistaSP2_x64_Installer.rar (just batch files) to the same folder where you extracted the files. 3) Open a Command Prompt with Administrator privileges and switch to the folder where the update files are. 4) Run NDP35_45_Install.bat, if needed Windows will restart automatically. 5) Optionally you may install a language pack (LangPacks_NDP35SP1_URLs.txt and LangPacks_NDP452_URLs.txt). Installing updates for optional features (only if you have installed IIS, IIS ASP, IIS FTP or Telnet from Program and Features Control Panel extension) Download all files from Features_URLs.txt and run the following .MSU packages if you have installed: IIS: KB4012373 IIS ASP: KB2124261 IIS FTP: KB975254 Telnet: KB960859 and KB3020393

First: R.I.P Microsoft Zone Online Games (September 14, 2000 - July 31, 2019) I was bored on my pc, opened a cmd window and ping the old versions of Windows Update, versions 4 and 5 had their own domain while versions 3 and 6 do not have it. Well I ping the domains "v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com" and "v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com" and they sent a response, while also checking to see if it was really still standing in August 2019, I ping it to "v7.windowsupdate.microsoft.com" (never existed). It is mysterious, since MS is strict with support periods. It has been 8 years since the servers that host these sites are turned off, but the domains after 8 years are still standing.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa all USB3 on XP SP3 on Intel chipset on full ACPI Multiprocessor https://www.win-raid.com/t4035f45-Windows-XP-SP-bit-and-modern-PC-parts-86.html#msg84052 Dietmar

Well, the WinPE is still a Windows NT. And you still have to check the disk signature on BOTH disks, one at the time, and check the given Registry key on both (again one at the time). Mind you, it is perfectly possible that the program you used takes care of the possible issue, but: vs.: might be the disk signatures. As a matter of fact this: Plainly means: "assign the C: drive letter to the volume that is residing on the disk with signature 00026180 starting at offset 0x140A300000, i.e. 86070263808, i.e. LBA 168105984" the latter being strangely similar to the lines in the log: IF this: had been (hypothetical): I would personally have been more convinced that it operated along the previously detailed #1 approach. The: might mean that instead the previosly detailed #2 approach has been used. But you'll never know until you check. Now, be nice, open a disk viewer editor and check the Disk Signature on both disks (again with them connected one at the time) or boot from USB to grub4dos and in it issue: cat --hex --skip=440 --length=4 (hd1)0+1 (hd1) in the above is assuming that you have only one disk besides the USB stick you booted from that should be (hd0) jaclaz P.S.: cluster size is an attribute of the filesystem, it has NOTHING to do with the issue at hand.

asking in cf forum: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/error-522-from-europe-but-works-in-asia-and-america/104340

No. If the system loads there are no issues with the active partition. The actual (good ) question is how (EXACTLY) the disk was cloned (IF it was actually cloned)? Point being that NO TWO clones can be connected to a WINNT system at the same time. The sheer moment two disks with the same disk signature are connected at the same time to a NT system the disk signature ot one of the two will be changed. The one with the changed signature won't boot, because the OS cannot (in a nutshell) "find itself". There are two possible solutions (depending on the use of the "clone"): 1) set the changed disk signature back to the old one [1] 2) set the references in the Registry to the new disk signature [2] or remove them and let the system recreate them [3] The relevant Registry key for #2 is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices Each value in it referring to a volume or to a drive letter residing on a "hard disk like" device is a hex value made of: Disk Signature+Offset to the beginning of the partition, EXAMPLE: 59 AE 59 AE 00 7E 00 00 00 00 00 00 Please note how the values are - as usual - reversed, the Disk Signature value in the Registry is in the same order as it is written to the MBR @offset 440 decimal but the actual disk signature value is AE 59 AE 59 as seen in a number of tools. the 00 7E 00 00 00 00 00 00 is 0x07E00, i,e, 32,256, aka 63 sectors by 512 bytes=32,256 jaclaz [1] this assumes that the "original" will NEVER be connected again at the same time as the "Clone" [2] which is a bit complex, doable but needs some time and attention, particularly if there are many volumes [3] this may change the drive letter assignment of volumes that were not auto-assigned previously [4] both [2] and [3] above (but it is rare) may cause issues with programs that use the Disk Signature for some form of verification

You should never feel you cannot say that (or even have to qualify it). A reality check is healthy. For example, I was very big on extending Vista's longevity, but it seems to be experiencing just enough issues or concerns with the latest Server 2008 updates, that it has now become a less attractive option for me. And with Windows 8 running SO well, I can feel good about letting go of past OS releases. I will miss Windows 2000 and Windows XP x64 Edition, but they had their time, and I was fond of it.

Hi cnhtdyui, see fujianabc's osletter7.cmd: http://reboot.pro/topic/10126-nt-6x-fast-installer-install-win7-directly-to-usb-external-drive/?p=88282 But i don't think using A: is a good idea.

Just a note, Vistaboy is from Italy like Sampei.Nihira, so thats why they have the same problem.

because of cloudflare's network structure, the outer-endpoint is fine as its error page states, there seems to be a network routing problem between cloudflare's europe nodes and my server.

Yes, that's the same problem @Sampei.Nihira was having. Cloudflare seems to have some sort of routing problem between much of Europe (but not all; Greece reportedly is fine) and Roytam's server. @Sampei.Nihira found a free Web proxy that let him work around the problem. Look a couple of pages back and you should be able to find his post.

It is located on a country barrier at Zippyshare. Therefore, I have now added an alternative download link via web proxy. https://msfn.org/board/topic/175170-root-certificates-and-revoked-certificates-for-windows-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1110568 Update for root certificates: New: CN = Digidentity Services Root CA O = Digidentity B.V.

... This is better worded as follows: Windows XP is well alive in 2019 China since are ALL browsers offered by Chinese vendors (and mainly target mainland China users...; I won't even touch the privacy concerns associated with Chinese browsers in general ). The fact that XP still holds a strong market share among Chinese netizens is the very reason that gives incentive to these Chinese vendors to invest, no doubt, considerable resources to (probably manually) undoing all the many thousand lines of code Google have pushed after Chromium 49, so as to restore XP and, probably as a not intended by-product, Vista compatibility in their Chromium 69 & 70 forks. Being myself in the Mozilla camp, I would've liked for them to have similarly produced an XP/Vista compatible Quantum fork, but I suspect they were not interested in such an enterprise (technical limitations aside): Quantum currently enjoys only a small fraction of Google Chrome's usage share; and Google Chrome is already on its own a hugely more efficient spyware than Quantum, so why bother to begin with? Of the rest two browsers in your first list, Nano Browser (still in alpha testing phase) is an Indian product (another territory where XP is still abundant), while Lunascape is a Japanese product (which makes it the odd one out, I suppose; BTW, have you checked that the Gecko and Webkit engines inside Lunascape are indeed XP compatible? If not, Lunascape would be only able to use IE8's Trident engine under XP and that alone, as I'm sure you already know, won't get you very far in 2019's web ). PS: This is not an XP dissing post, I still love XP myself, having spent 6 years on it before sticking with Vista; but it is a reality check all the same...
