Well, these 4 fail on vLite: 4537767 955430 4537810 4537822 Interestingly, 955430 is already in SP2, and SP2 ISO works fine, but this one causes issues when integrated apparently. So no way to delete the 955430 update, but I'm redoing vLite once again with all updates through EOS except for the other 3. Hopefully the result is better!

@Dylan Cruz, My slipstream was only done with Vista updates up until February 2014. I cannot speak to slipstreaming Server 2008 updates into the Vista installation DVD. I was perfectly OK with manually installing updates post 2013. So I won't be of much help I'm afraid,

Is this Paranoia or Conspiracy Theory? I wasn't asking anybody to visit Citi's web site, for the record. As I've stated over-and-over, I run version 28.2.2 (or thereabouts) from September 2018. Because IT works for me and "newer" versions do NOT. I 'all but' place people on "ignore" that chastise me for using a browser "from 2018" and wag their 'security hype' finger my way. I'm HAPPY with my September 2018 version.

New build of BOC/UXP for XP! Test binary: MailNews Win32 https://o.rths.ml/boc-uxp/mailnews.win32-20200215-48fee875-uxp-d3067ffdd-xpmod.7z Browser-only Suite Win32 https://o.rths.ml/boc-uxp/bnavigator.win32-20200215-48fee875-uxp-d3067ffdd-xpmod.7z source patch (excluding UXP): https://o.rths.ml/boc-uxp/boc-uxp-src-xpmod-20191123.7z Official repo changes since my last build: - Re-add TLS 1.3 to the SSL prefpane in Navigator (4918c9cc) - Remove crazy prefs that enable warnings regarding leaving and entering normal http (6ab85c3b) - Part 2: Clean up l10n (7478165a) - Update commit pointer (48fee875) For UXP changes please see above.

Currently, a reboot results in an error message usually associated with DWM symbol problems. "Aero Glass for Win8.1.1+ Incompatibility issue Aero Glass does not know how to hook your version of DWM (0x2000). !!! DO NOT REPORT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A BUG !!!"

See above. That might help.

There were also some .NET Framework updates released in January that I did not see posted anywhere in this thread yet: KB4532944 .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 (Security/Quality Rollup) - http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=4532944 KB4532959 .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 (Security Only) - http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=4532959 KB4532929 .NET Framework 4.5.2 (Security/Quality Rollup) - http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=4532929 KB4532964 .NET Framework 4.5.2 (Security Only) - http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=4532964 KB4532932 .NET Framework 4.6 (Security/Quality Rollup) - http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=4532932 KB4532971 .NET Framework 4.6 (Security Only) - http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=4532971

I've been using Windows 2000 Professional for several months now as my primary OS now and it works great. With kernel modifications, I even have Office 2007 working seamlessly. The problem is I really need Office 2010, the best and really the oldest usable version of Office, and I've been getting away with running it in a Server 2003 VM until now. But that adds overhead. Still, W2K is incredibly stable and fast. So if people can use W2K 20 years after it was released, then W7 should be at least as usable ten years from now, probably still more usable. At this point, I'm considering using Windows 7 and/or Windows Vista Ultimate as a secondary OS to handle things like Office 2010, which Windows 2000 is just not ideal for. That way, Windows 10 can be completely avoided, since Vista and 7 are modern enough to do what I can't do in Windows 2000 (which is really not a lot).

Hi Dylan Cruz: If you only want to patch Vista SP2 to the end of support (11-Apr-2017) for now, download links for the 4 or 5 required "speed up" patches listed in WinClient5270's video [KB3205638 (rel. 13-Dec-2016); KB4012583 (rel. 14-Mar-2017); KB4015195 (rel. 11-Apr-2017); KB4015380 (rel. 11-Apr-2017) plus KB4014661 (rel. 11-Apr-2017) if IE9 is installed] are posted in Note 1 of the step-by-step instructions on page 1 of m#l's thread Updates not working, it has been searching for updates for hours in the MS Answers forum. Once you've run the .msu standalone installers for those "speed up" patches Windows Update should be able to automatically patch your Vista SP2 OS with the ~200 missing security updates released between Service Pack 2 (rel. May 2009) and end of support. Vista Service Pack 2 includes the IE7 browser. Once IE9 is installed, Windows Update will start hanging on "Checking for updates..." again until the KB4014661 "speed up" patch is installed. If you don't want to download and manually install those 4 or 5 required "speed up" patches, the last paragraph of the instructions in m#l's thread include a link to Torsten Wittrock's WSUS Offline Update tool. This tool will automatically patch you to end of support and includes a few extra out-of-band updates for vulnerabilities discovered after April 2017. The ESR v9.2.x branch is the extended support release for older OSs like Win XP and Vista, but there's a bit of a learning curve the first time you use this tool and it might be faster to just manually apply the Windows Update "speed up" patches. ----------- 32-bit Vista Home Premium SP2 * Firefox ESR v52.9.0 * Norton Security Deluxe v22.15.2.22 * Malwarebytes Free v3.5.1-1.0.365 HP Pavilion dv6835ca, Intel Core2Duo T5550 @ 1.83 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 256 GB Western Digital SATA HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
