It has been considered. I would like to do so, and probably will eventually. Development is very slow, but at minimum not "dead". Stay tuned.1 point

Yeah, that's presumably the truth. It's a question of time either. No one can be everywhere. But @feodor2 reads the issues and ,in a lot of cases, replies to them. Or other "experts" try to help.1 point

Yeah, that is what I suspected as I've tried to answer some questions on another forum, but appears to be another unofficial thread by a member, so, other than github (I don't have an account, sadly) he is not monitoring any threads of forums and see feedback or answer question??1 point

Gosh, I enjoyed that! Don't ask how Reba got into my timeline but that was a nice followup, and, while Kris may not have the most melodious voice, he's original and a classic!1 point

My essential tools for solving problems in Windows XP — Part 1 — WU/MU tools WinUpdatesList: WinUpdatesList is a tool from NirSoft and displays the list of all Windows updates (Service Packs and Hotfixes) installed on your local computer. For hotfix updates, this utility also displays the list of files updated with these hotfixes. In addition, it allows you to instantly open the provided link to its Microsoft website, but you have to use in most cases the Wayback Machine nowadays. It provides more information about the selected update, uninstall an update, copy the update information to the clipboard, or save it to text/HTML/XML file. The latest and presumably last version is 1.33. Language files are available too. Links: Homepage: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wul.html Portable version: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wul.zip Installer version: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wul_setup.exe WinUpdatesView: WinUpdatesView is another simple tool from NirSoft that displays the history of Windows updates on your system. WinUpdatesView can load the Windows updates history from your local system, using API, and it can also read and parse the Windows updates database file (DataStore.edb) from external drive or from remote computer on your network. For every Windows update history record, WinUpdatesView displays the following fields: Title, Description, Install Date, Update Operation (Install, Uninstall, Not Started, In Progress), Operation Result (Succeeded, Succeeded With Errors, Failed, Aborted), Category, Information URL, Support URL, Uninstall Notes, Client Application ID, Service ID, Update ID, Revision Number, Unmapped Result Code, Server Selection, hResult. The latest version is 1.17. Language files are available too. Links: Homepage: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/windows_updates_history_viewer.html Portable version: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/winupdatesview.zip WUMT - Windows Update MiniTool 20.12.2016: Windows Update MiniTool (WUMT) is a free alternative to the standard Windows Update; it puts you in control of updates by allowing you to search, install, and block Windows updates as you please. WUMT can be used offline either. The version from 20.12.2016 is the last working in Windows XP. Link: https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2021/12/windows-update-minitool-20122016.html Additionally, you need a file from Microsoft called wsusscn2.cab, dated from 09.12.2019, to use WUMT offline. You can get it by using the Wayback Machine. Link: https://web.archive.org/web/20191209214827/http://download.windowsupdate.com/microsoftupdate/v6/wsusscan/wsusscn2.cab Reset Windows Update Tool (Script): Reset Windows Update Tool (Script) resets the Windows Update Components and is said to be working properly. Since I had no problems regarding MU/WU recently and usually prefer manual methods to keep control, it has not been tested by me, so no guarantee of success and use at your own risk. I recommend to back up your system partition completely at first or at least the Windows folder SoftwareDistribution. Here is the homepage at GitHub: https://github.com/ManuelGil/Script-Reset-Windows-Update-Tool The last XP compatible version is 10.5.3.7: https://www.mediafire.com/file/k48ll6e41eypogy/ResetWUEng10.5.3.7.zip/file A less recent version 10.5.3.4, with a help file included, can be downloaded here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/wl0yrq98me8dfkj/ResetWUEng10.5.3.4.zip/file A list of all parts of my My essential tools for solving problems in Windows XP can be found in my post of Additional Resources.

Just thinking, the PendingFileRenameOperations registry value might be the easiest way to do this, if you need to delete in-use files at next boot? It's a MULTI_SZ value where each line alternates between source and destination file names (both prefixed with \??\), but if the destination line is empty, the source file is deleted instead of being renamed at reboot. It won't delete non-empty folders though. Edit: also won't delete an in-use ntdll.dll as that's loaded before the above takes effect, so it needs to be renamed before reboot and then deleted at boot.

As Paul Harvey might have said, "the rest of the story." You'd think Amwater's banner would at least tell you that Win XP or Vista was no longer supported, rather than telling you to "update" your browser to a version older than the one you're running! But they probably don't care, as long as those "evil" XPers are kept out of their site. But that leaves me wondering: Why is NM 28 allowed, even though its default UA would reveal the same evil Windows version? I guess some mysteries will never be solved. So PM 30 was sort of their Windows 8! "Whoops, this was a hot mess; better clean things up with a new version ASAP." PM 29's life cycle seemed short, but perhaps that's because I was "spoiled" by PM 28's long life cycle, and/or because PM 29's subversion numbers only got up to 4, making it seem shorter. The Covid pandemic may have warped my perception of time as well. I might have compromised and increased NM's subversion number to 17 from 10 by now, maximizing compatibility with PM add-ons while avoiding the pitfalls with legacy FF ones. But it's not my project, and I'm sure Roytam1 has other reasons to stick to 28.10. NM isn't even my main browser, so my interest is mostly academic anyway.1 point

Upstream came back with a "revised" iteration of UXP issue #1909 ,now UXP issue #1913 , and committed code https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/commit/ec277eacb88c659a713ef75bda6d6381ecbdbda4 that has been merged in their master branch: https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/commit/a164537057a031328a3f688cbfa17738aed067b1 @roytam1 Is that "safe" for us (especially with regard to St 52.9.0+55.0.0) ?1 point

It has better ePub compatibility and more importantly for me, the ability to setup shortcuts with better shortcuts for annotations. I can live with version 3.3.3 for the near future, but in the long run, I like the Idea to also have a more up-to date mupdf engine that will be more compatible with all random PDFs that I could come across. In the End the release cycle of SumatraPDF seems to be one version a year which is still very reasonable.1 point

Mcinwwl said: [...] who is willing to take the responsibility to keep the topic up-to-date and clean? I won't - but here I am with my additional mess. ---------- The future Firefox v52 is planned to be the latest developed for Xp (and Sse2 Cpu, that is, P4 and Amd Opteron/Amd64 minimum) and shall come in March 2017. After that, v52 shall receive only security updates up to 52.8 which might appear simultaneously with v58 for more recent Win. Presently, Firefox v50 runs on Xp. Examples of addons for v50 are Adblockplus 2.8.2 and Flashblock 1.5.20. Mozilla often suppress older versions from their website, so downloading the offline installer of 50 (or better, v52) seems prudent. You can download the addon installers by using Opera, rather than installing them immediately if using Firefox, and add them to a running Firefox by opening the xpi files on your disk from Firefox. Same for spell check dictionaries. Many localized versions of Firefox exist, or you can download the en-us version and add language packs https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/language-tools/ The current Thunderbird v45.5.1 runs on Xp. As it's a parallel development to Firefox, expect the latest edition for Xp to appear around March 2017 - or earlier since Thunderbird is more irregular. It uses the addons for Firefox like Adblock Plus 2.8.2 and spell checkers, plus few specific ones like Enigmail 1.9.6.1 (requires GnuPG). What version of GnuPG runs on Xp is hard to assess. The Linux community uses to distribute source code, sometimes you get a "binary" for "Windows" without more information, and over varied channels whose support for older Win differs. If someone wants to try, please tell! Opera v36 is the latest for Xp. The current v37 already demands Seven. v36 is multilingual http://download3.operacdn.com/pub/opera/desktop/36.0.2130.65/win/Opera_36.0.2130.65_Setup.exe and for instance adblock 1.12.4.1 runs on v36 https://addons.opera.com/fr/extensions/details/opera-adblock/ and its offline installer (.nex) can be downloaded by using Firefox by telling "download anyway". ---------- The current Flash Player v23.0.0.207 still runs officially on Xp and integrates to Firefrox v50 and Opera v36 http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ BUT you get only a 1MB loader there, which will in the future download a version too recent for Xp: bad. A full offline installer is available at the editor sign annoyances like signup. I got mine from http://www.commentcamarche.net/download/telecharger-34055018-adobe-flash-player which links there https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe apparently, the file is multilingual (please confirm!). You may want a displayer for Pdf documents, despite Firefox v50 does it without help, because IE8 doesn't alone You want to read Pdf documents outside a browser Firefox' Pdf displayer doesn't fill Pdf forms. To test on fillable forms, go there: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/. Xp has only bad choices already. Acrobat 11 is outdated, and Firefox complains every time about it. Truly annoying. And it's Acrobat anyway. Sumatra 3.12 is perfect offline but doesn't bring a browser plugin, nor does it fill Pdf forms. Nitro 5.5.9.2 is not for Xp, Evince neither Foxit 4 is outdated Foxit 8 is the least bad to fill Pdf forms and integrate to browsers, but meanwhile it's as bloated as Acrobat: 4s load time! Acrobat read properly the forms I filled by Foxit 8, which isn't true from other displayers. ---------- The current Java 8u111 installs and runs unofficially on Xp. 7u55 was the latest officially for Xp. ---------- The current CCleaner v5.25 installs and runs on Xp (3.28 on W2k, 2.36.1233 on W98-Me-Nt4, while on W95 v1.41 runs but may not be the latest and 2.19 fails). The current Avast 2016 runs on Xp. ---------- The current 7-zip v16.04 runs on Xp officially and experimentally - and probably on older Win. The current IZArc 4.2 demands Vista but installs and seems to run unofficially on Xp. It contains no ads. v4.19 claims W2k-Xp-2k3-V-7-8 but contains ads. Shortly before 4.19, some were officially for Xp and without ads - and you can also install IZArc after stopping your Internet connection. ---------- Google Earth v7.1.7.2602 fails to run on Xp after installing without complaint and being recommended for Xp by Google - kudos. W2k enthusiasts greet Xp users in this new experience. Hey, maybe someone wants to develop the software compatibility diagnostic I suggest there (messages 5 and 7) http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/68781-i-need-suggestion-regarding-my-master-thesis-topic/page__view__findpost__p__700647 Google Earth v4.2 runs on Xp (and W2k) but I hope some v6 still works on Xp. Though, I haven't found an offline installer for v6 after a quick search, and the 700kB file is only a loader that will probably install v7 - just like many websites claim v6 but link to the latest version at Google, hence the inadequate v7. If someone finds an offline installer, please tell! For v6, or an earlier if v6 doesn't run on Xp. Merry Christmas to everyone!1 point
