... 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...

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 Superseded updates are not included except for a few ones just to satisfy Windows Update.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

Sure! There are reasons galore... none good (@jaclaz'll surely disagree, of course), in fact, but that's beside the point.

Is there a reason that you do NOT have Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed for your WIN XP OS ??? Added Later: @dencorso (message below) did explain it for me. To each, their own.

New build of BOC/UXP for XP! Test binary: MailNews Win32 https://o.rths.cf/boc-uxp/mailnews.win32-20190810-211bb28-uxp-b5b299310-xpmod.7z Browser-only Suite Win32 https://o.rths.cf/boc-uxp/bnavigator.win32-20190810-211bb28-uxp-b5b299310-xpmod.7z source patch (excluding UXP): https://o.rths.cf/boc-uxp/boc-uxp-src-xpmod-20190720.7z No Official repo changes since my last build. For UXP changes please see above.

@Windows Vista Welcome to MSFN forums Yandex.Browser already covered in the first post of this thread: The link provided in that first post, as well as the link one gets when visiting https://browser.yandex.com/ with an XP/Vista User Agent string (*NT 5.x*/*NT 6.0*) is for a stub (on-line) installer! Official download link for off-line (Full/Standalone) installer, for version 17.4.1.1026: http://download.cdn.yandex.net/browser/update/17_4_1_1026_2644_w_s_m/yandex.exe 17.4.1.1026 is built on Chromium 57.0.2987.1026 source and is the last officially supported version on Vista; however, it is not the latest version that can be reliably run on Vista (but not XP); that one is version 17.6.0.1633, built on Chromium 58.0.3029.1633 source: Most sadly, it has proven impossible to locate a stub and/or full installer for that version, thankfully a third party portable (PAF) package has been archived in SourceForge (and is the one used here ): https://sourceforge.net/projects/thumbapps/files/Internet/Yandex%20Browser/YandexPortable_17.6.0.1633_on_Chrome_58.0.3029.1633.paf.exe/download Considering latest Yandex.Browser (19.6.1.153) is based on Chromium 74.0.3729.15 source, version 17.6.0.1633 should be considered deprecated/insecure by today's web standards; be that as it may, I find most websites render OK, with the exception, of course, of github.com (since they insist on always using the cutting edge version of Javascript code); if you spoof your UA to being FirefoxESR 60.x.x, even github works OK (but I suspect this hack will soon break, as FxESR60 will reach EoL towards the end of this month...). Cheers

On my Win7 x64 PC, f I have the option, I install everything to my 1 TB disk. The issues here are: 1. AppData is still going to end up on C: including temporary files. 2. Data is still stored in the user profile which is on C: In a general sense, this isn't a bad situation, as the majority of the data is going to be on the larger disk.

Use WSUS Offline 9.25 to download all Vista patches, along with the applicable runtimes for VC++, .NET Framework and DirectX. You can even include MSE (which would work if tricked into thinking it's on W7, 99.9% sure) and Windows Defender definitions. I haven't done much research on either Vista or WSUS, but it does give you the option of creating an ISO or a folder on a USB drive with the updates. Or you can just copy the "client" folder to the Vista machine and run UpdateInstaller.exe. *note: the update files for x64 are ~3.6 GB uncompressed.

System_Info Updated to Version 4.0 - Added 4 new buttons for HP System Diagnostics + Save HWIDs + Windows Settings + Control Panel More Info: Devcon Commands
